The world's oldest man has died at his home _ a hot springs inn _ in northern Japan at the age of 113. The 106-year-old inn is now run by his granddaughter Yuko.She said her grandfather appeared to be as usual until her elder sister noticed he was not breathing. He was pronounced dead by his family doctor. "He didn't have any health problem. He went peacefully and that's at least our consolation,'' she said.Nonaka, who enjoyed eating sweets, used to regularly soak in the springs, and would move about in the inn in a wheelchair, wearing his trademark knit cap.He outlived all seven of his siblings, as well as his wife and three of their five children.
