Salustiano Sánchez
Sanchez became the oldest living man in the United States after Shelby Harris' death on 25 July 2012 and was exactly one year later officially verified to be the oldest living man in the world since 116-year-old Japaneseman Jiroemon Kimura's death at 2:08 a.m. the night of 12 June 2013 (=1:08 p.m. the afternoon of 11 June 2013 New York Time), which, however, before the verification of Sánchez was believed to be Canadian-born Californian man James McCoubrey (who died of pneumonia on 5 July 2013) followed by Jokichi Ikarashi (who also died of pneumonia just 18 days after McCoubrey) and Italian Arturo Licata. Licata, however, became the oldest living man when Sánchez died of natural causes at age 112 years, 97 days on 13 September 2013 - coincidencially on the same day as McCoubrey would have turned 112 - while the oldest living American man became Polish-born Alexander Imich.
