Mehmet Özyürek from Turkey, who has set the Guinness World Records for the world’s longest nose, has died at the age of 75.
As per guinnessworldrecords.com, Mehmet, from Türkiye, was well known and loved for his zest for life, and often spoke of how he was “blessed” to have a record-breaking nose. Each time, it measured 8.8 cm (3.46 in) from the bridge to the tip, which is the length of a playing card.
He was awarded the title of longest nose on a living person (male) three times: first in 2001 on Guinness World Records: Primetime in Los Angeles, again in 2010 on the set of Lo Show dei Record in Italy and one last time in 2021.
The record breaker fell ill and suffered a heart attack before he was due to undergo surgery last week.
