The world’s oldest man died in Japan on Tuesday at the age of 112 after suffering chronic heart problems, officials said.

Yasutaro Koide had said his secret to a long life was not to smoke, drink or overdo it. Koide, who was born on March 13, 1903, passed away just two months short of his 113th birthday.

The world’s oldest person is an American woman, 116-year-old Susannah Mushatt Jones of Brooklyn, New York (pictured below).
