John Alfred Tinniswood, the world's oldest man, died on Monday at the age of 112 surrounded in his final days by "music and love," his family said.

Tinniswood, who claimed the title in April 2024 when 114-year-old Juan Vincente Perez from Venezuela passed away, died at a care home in Southport, England, where he had lived.
