Iranian Man Did Not Take a Bath for 60 Years.

So this kind of a recent buzzing news now : this man who didn't bathe for 60 years.

Yahoo news made it a point to make a paltry 'news' out of this with a minute-long video that played the exact same 5 screenshots over and over again with what I think supposed to be ominous music.

It is extremely sad, really. Seeing such a person in an obviously destitute condition, instead of finding out what happened that he is in his current condition, people thought it was better to take a picture of him and make him into an internet sensation with most people making a mockery outta him.

First of all, consider these things:

a) Is he homeless and shunned by the nearest townsfolk for some reason?

b) Is he mentally ill? (depressed people are known to neglect their personal hygiene)

c) He appears to live in a desert area - the place seems like you will breathe in dust instead of air. So...maybe there wasn't enough water for him to bathe but just enough for drinking?

So far, I can not find anymore information on this news, did they say his name in the video? I can't understand the speaker's accent.

But he is an intriguing character though, who is he? What is his story?
