The world's unofficial 'oldest man' has died at the age of 116 after surviving the 1918 Spanish Flu that wiped out his entire family.

Fredie Blom, who lives in South Africa, complained that his biggest challenge during the coronavirus lockdown was not being able to roll his own cigarettes on his birthday, Star Online reports.
