He's probably thinking, it's about time that guy died. 

How else could he become the world's oldest man unless 115-year old Emiliano Mercado Del Toro, of Puerto Rico died? Which he did.

Japan's Tomoji Tanabe became the world's oldest man at 111-years old.

Tanabe lives with his 66-year old son and wife. 

His secrets –

1. Drinks milk 

2. Keeps a daily diary

3. avoids alcohol

4. doesn't smoke

There are more than 28,000 centenarians in Japan, including the oldest women in the world, Yone Minagawa, 114.

Lots of fish, veggies and tight-knit communities are thought to be factors in why Japanese live so long.
