World's 'oldest' man dies in Ukraine, aged 116

LVIV, Ukraine -- A Ukrainian shepherd believed by some to be world's oldest man has died at the age of 116, authorities in the western Lviv province announced Monday.

Grygory Nestor put his longevity down to never having married: "If I had had a wife, I would have been in a coffin long ago," he told Agence France-Presse in a recent interview.

Nestor's passport and birth certificate put his date of birth as March 15, 1891, but he is thought to have been awaiting confirmation from the Guinness Book of World Records when he passed away.

The Ukrainian media has claimed him as the world's oldest man.

He remained a shepherd until nearly his 100th year, and could still read the newspaper without glasses.

He offered a spartan sampling of other reasons for his long-life: a strict regime of no cigarettes, light drinking and healthy food -- but also a routine of prayer and repentance.

Nestor died on Saturday, in the town of Stary Yarychiv.

"In the next world, all will be well," he once said. "And if that's not the case, a lot of people will run away."
