liverpool - The world's oldest man, John Tinniswood, has passed away at the age of 112 in a care home in Southport, UK. His family says he was surrounded by love and music in his final days.

John Tinniswood, who was born in Liverpool in 1912, the year the Titanic sank, has peacefully passed away at the age of 112 in a care home in Southport. His family expressed that he was surrounded by love and music during his last days and extended their gratitude to the caregivers who looked after him all these years.

In April 2014, Tinniswood became the world's oldest man after the death of 114-year-old Juan Vicente Perez from Venezuela. In an earlier interview, Tinniswood modestly attributed his long life to staying active and being grateful, stating that he had no secrets and was just lucky. He humbly said, "I just walked a lot. I don't know if that had anything to do with it. It is just luck. I am no different from other people."

Among the list of the world's oldest individuals, Tinniswood was surrounded by many women. Recently, the world's oldest living woman, Spanish MarĂ­a Branyas Morera, passed away at the age of 117. The current oldest living woman is Japanese Tomiko Itooka, aged 116 years and 187 days, followed by Brazilian Inah Canabarro Lucas (116 years and 187 days), British Ethel Caterham (115 years and 97 days), and Japanese Okagi Hayashi (115 years and 86 days). The title of the oldest woman ever belongs to French Jeanne Calment, who passed away in 1997 at the age of 122.
