Nazar Singh, Europe's oldest man, is dead

London, June 23: Nazar Singh, Europe's oldest man, died in India, barely a fortnight after celebrating his 111th birthday, a media report said. Nazar Singh, who had nine children, 34 grandchildren and 63 great-grandchildren, died in the early hours of Saturday in India, Daily Mail reported on Tuesday. He was born in Punjab in 1904 and was a resident in England for 50 years, moving in 1989 to the North East to live with one of his nine children. He died in the early hours of Saturday in India, having travelled over to spend time with family, said his grandson Harvinder Gill, from Ashbrooke, Sunderland. "He was an incredible chap," Gill was quoted as saying. "He has had pneumonia but he was a fighter. He passed away early hours on Saturday, just before Fathers' Day," he added.
