theweaselkingWorld's Oldest Man dies, aged 113
Fred Hale Sr, a US citizen documented as the world's oldest man, has died at the age of 113.
Hale, who gave up driving at 108 because he found slow drivers annoying, died in his sleep on Friday in Syracuse, New York, his family said.
Fred Hale was only 12 days short of his 114th birthday when he passed away.
The supercentenarian lived through 21 US presidents, and was in his 70s when Neil Armstrong landed on the Moon.
