[FreeperSlayer]

DUBAI (Reuters) - A 120-year-old man from the United Arab Emirates who had managed to avoid hospital all his life died after his first visit to one, the Gulf News daily reports.

The newspaper said Hassan Saeed Aksh went into hospital on Monday for a minor stomach operation, only to die a few hours after surgery.

His sons said their father, a former diver from the emirate of Ras al-Khaimah, was extremely healthy and alert despite his years. They attributed his longevity to a diet of dates, fish, natural honey and coffee.
