Fauja Singh claimed to be 114 years old, but this is highly questionable and unlikely.
Well, in any case, it's sad that he was killed in a car accident today in Punjab, India, his home country, where he was born.
He claimed to have been born on April 1, 1911.
I don't know if anyone has managed to discover his exact age and year of birth. If so, I'll change the year of his birth in the title.

It seems like he died in India, did he even live in the UK because people on the wiki claimed he was a claimant to the Oldest British man

Out of curiosity, based on his current photos, how old do you think he is?

We have photos of him 21 years ago, when he claimed to be 93. How old do you think he looked? He already looked quite old.

Below are links to photos of him from 2004 and 2011 for comparison.

I'd love to hear your thoughts.
