Man dies after walking three times to Makkah

A 130-year-old man has died in Saudi Arabia after a life of eating only the fruit of his labour and making the pilgrimage to Makkah three times on foot, a newspaper reported Friday.
Zafer bin Yehya al-Asmari died in Ballasmar in southern Saudi Arabia on Tuesday, leaving behind around 60 grandchildren, Al-Watan said, without making clear how many times he married.
His son Abdullah told the paper that Asmari, who walked to Makkah three times for the Haj, never wore shoes and never travelled by car except when he was once taken to hospital.
Asmari spent a lifetime eating only the product of "what he grew or raised," including honey, butter and meat, and always warned his children to avoid chemicals, the son said. He was also "known for his boldness and daring to confront wild animals, once killing a tiger."
