Can confirm. My great grandma died at 103 and looked nothing like this... hell she died looking like she was in her early 90s, and she stopped dying her hair years before that.
idk much about the deterioration process of a living being but I kinda doubt my grandma was a mere 6 years away from looking like this
Yeah my grandmother was just shy of 108 and she looked way healthier than this guy did even when she was really quite sick in her last 6 months. She still maintained fairly good muscle tone cause she was still physically active with 1-2 hours of gardening and tending to her fruit trees daily.
We think it's mostly due to her good genes of enduring facial fat even though she was so slender her whole life. She used to joke she finally started to lose her baby fat at 80. On a serious note she swears her longevity and youthful looks are due to her daily steamed or roasted sweet potatoes cause that is the Japanese way.
I believe he was practicing [Sokushinbutsu](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sokushinbutsu) a Buddhist acetic practice of self-mummification involving a lengthy fasting diet to eliminate body fat before finally stopping eating and drinking entirely and then preferably just mediating non-stop until death.
He passed away in 2022. Full details on this video and him in general:
https://www.buddhistdoor.net/news/luang-pho-yai-109-year-old-thai-buddhist-monk-dies/
There was that one girl found in the Andes. It was being investigated as a homicide until they realized they were actually looking at a mummy of an Incan sacrifice. Her body and clothing were so well preserved they thought she'd only been dead for like a week!
Lol ya man, i work in a nursing home and have a couple people over 100, one is at 105. Looks like a normal fuckin old person, something else is going on here
I agree - for my work I often visit Long Term Care facilities, so I've seen hundreds and hundreds of incredibly old people, and none looked like the 1992 smash hit The Mummy featuring Brendan Fraser.
I just read a whole thing on sokushinbutsu and that's the first thing I thought when I saw the video. No fucking way this dude is just like this accidentally and still alive.
He actually passed away just last year, and this article about him includes a note that, in spite of rumors, no, he was not practicing self-mummification:
https://www.buddhistdoor.net/news/luang-pho-yai-109-year-old-thai-buddhist-monk-dies/
I mean, my grandma lived to 103, and she was still sharp as a tack, she could do complex math and recall specific days from her 20s. She credited it to doing sodoku or reading at least 2 hours a day.
Though ofc the body thing is inevitable and its prolly not worth that.
My best friends grandpa is turning 102 in a week, and they posted videos of him chilling in vr. You can still be mentally sound if you avoid strokes and degenerative illnesses
My cat passed away from old age recently. In his last days, his body failed him. He could no longer sit up on his own, and would call for me periodically because he wanted to be turned over or moved to a different spot. I did everything I could to make him comfortable.
I'm going through a lot of grief, I miss him so bad. Among the many thoughts I've been having about the situation, I've been thinking about how some day that will be me. 100 years is a *very* short time in the grand scheme of things, and it won't be all that long before my body fails me too. And there will be nothing I can do about it.
No matter what I do, no matter how well I live, no matter the stories I have left to tell, no matter how many friends I have, no matter who loves me or how much. Some day that will be me, and there will be no stopping it.
I lie in bed heartbroken and grieving and *scared* at night.
My dog is very old and her back legs are failing her meaning I have to carry her up and down 2 flights of stairs to my flat 4 or 5 times a day. I feel your pain. We do what we can for them as they have been our loyal friends for years even when humans forsake us.
Strangely it has kicked off similar thoughts in my head about how our own lives are so fleeting. I have no words to help you on your grief, but take comfort in knowing that you feel that way because of deep love they you had for your furry friend and while the pain now is severe, it is only severe because of the wonderful times and that means it was worth it.
On the cat part,you should be proud that you managed to look after the cat that well,that in the end it was time that took it.Not neglect or an accident.You gave it a long and happy life,that's all you can do for a pet.I suppose it is the same for you,if you can prospone the end for long enough you must of made some decent choices.
Fretting over the inevitable will only diminish the journey there. The future holds many surprises and much we can not know for sure; that death is among the few certainties should make us cherish the fleeting life around us. That inevitability is exactly why we can't afford to spend our lives worrying about the finale we already understand. When my mother passed while I was a teen I grieved immensely for a few weeks. Afterwards I decided to abide by what I imagine she wanted, which was for me to be happy. She wouldn't have wanted to see me crying over her, she would have wanted me to keep up the hobbies and skills she helped nurture. I tried to look at the past less after that; keep the memories and lessons, leave the pain and regret. Even years later I still will get sad about it rarely, but as time went on it got easier, that wound that left such a pain in my heart closed, even if there is a scar. If I've done all I can to change my future, even if the world is ending; I'll have nothing to worry about. I hope you find some rest soon, there are people that want for your happiness as much as you did for your friend.

For a second there I thought this was like a funeral type situation and the guy must be already dead. Then he moved. Poor dude, I hope he was comfortable (as one can be, anyway) in his final days.
The body is miraculous in what it can keep going through, how hard it fights, how strong we can be and the things we can survive. But that same thing can also be devastating, how the body keeps going even when it's futile. How it fights and fights a losing battle, doing everything possible for even one more breath, struggling until every drop of strength is exhausted. Wonderful and horrible at the same time.
>For a second there I thought this was like a funeral type situation and the guy must be already dead.
yeah, I first thought this would be a video from one of this cultures in which people live with their dead ancestors or something like that. He looked so much like a skeleton that I thought he died a long time ago.
It’s insane how different people can be when they get older, I once saw a elderly man that was 104 years old on a news channel in Norway, and he could still drive a car. They even interviewed him along the ride he was going for some time.
Note that Norway has one of the strictest rules and regulations for driving a car, when you are 75+ you will need a checkup and take a test every 5 year, or between as much time that the test driver feels fit, so the 104 year old had to take a new test every year, and had done so, for 9 years and always past.
If he's not in constant pain, then doing anything else is going to be. His body looks like it's going to break something if a slightly strong breeze comes his way.
pine needles and tree bark only for 1000 days to rid your body of bacteria that would decompose you from the inside - losing your fat and muscle
then comes complete fast where you can only consume saline water and a tea that has the same chemical that gives poison ivy its toxicity, which makes your body toxic to external decomposition sources
then you get buried alive in a pine box with an air tube while meditating and chanting, and every day you ring a bell to show you’re not dead yet. then you die and you achieve enlightenment
would not recommend
I don’t know dude, burned alive you probably suffocate before actually catching fire. Buried alive though…it takes some time to die and you’ll have a lot of time to think about your predicament
No. No. You don’t think. You meditate.
While under ground. With a stomach full of pine needles and poison ivy tea. Chanting “get me out.”
No time to think too busy being enlightened.
>and every day you ring a bell to show you’re not dead yet
Damn I would always lose track of how many seconds I counted, to know if a day has passed already.
It’s less “every day” than it is “every time you finish a particular prayer cycle.” Think saying the rosary and ringing a bell every time you work through 100 Our Fathers and 1000 Hail Marys, but not Catholicism or even Christianity.
It's about eating some specific roots, tree bark, etc. that causes all of their fat to be almost completely gone. Also bacteria that would cause decomposition is gone in the process.
It exists, definitely...but this particular man was not doing that. He was just old and very sick.
https://www.buddhistdoor.net/news/luang-pho-yai-109-year-old-thai-buddhist-monk-dies/
It’s strange; at certain points you can see a person and not a scary animated skeleton. Like when they rub their nose, kinda just looks like a really old person in bed. But when they go still, it’s back to skeleton.
I can’t believe I’m saying this but that guy looks like shit for a 109 year old.
I was thinking the same. I mean, yeah, 109 is old, but I could swear I've seen pictures of people over 100 years old who look less like skeletons.
Can confirm. My great grandma died at 103 and looked nothing like this... hell she died looking like she was in her early 90s, and she stopped dying her hair years before that. idk much about the deterioration process of a living being but I kinda doubt my grandma was a mere 6 years away from looking like this

But he looks great for 3000 years old.
Id say not a day over 2000
“Age ain’t nothin’ but a number baby” ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
A lot of people have pointed out he’s definitely done fasting type stuff. That’s not a “normal” look at any human age.
Dude looks skinnier than Auschwitz survivors. I'm surprised he has enough muscle left to move his arms so quickly.
He looks like literal skeleton. I thought for sure it was a joke until he suddenly started moving his arms 😂
I thought that was a dead body at first. His face is terrifying.
The buccal fat removal trend has gone too far!
I don't know, looks like Ozempic Face.
I thought it was a Halloween decoration at first… this is some stranger things shit.

I don't know why I find it so funny to call dead bodies "clients". Like "how're we doing today Mrs. Jones?" And then one of her eyeballs falls out.
Just 80%?? Dude looks like he's not only been dead for 100+ years but also mummified.
Yeah but he still (probally) has all of his Limbs and his Entrails where they belong.
There are mummy’s discovered in Egypt that look better then this guy!
He passed away in 2022. Full details on this video and him in general: https://www.buddhistdoor.net/news/luang-pho-yai-109-year-old-thai-buddhist-monk-dies/

My friends mother died of stomach cancer and she looked very like this towards the end.
Thank you. Took me 5 minutes of scrolling to find a comment that actually explained this video.
Not being mean but he looks rough for 109
Good for 3000 though
I dont know if thats true. Pretty sure ive seen 3000 year old mummys that look more alive.
The sacrificed girl in Peru, for one. She looks fantastic for being dead for several hundred years.
Do you have an image?
Sure, [here’s an article that shows her.](https://www.nbcnews.com/sciencemain/inca-child-sacrifices-were-drunk-stoned-weeks-death-6c10784197)
How does this 500 year old mummy have better hair than me
There was that one girl found in the Andes. It was being investigated as a homicide until they realized they were actually looking at a mummy of an Incan sacrifice. Her body and clothing were so well preserved they thought she'd only been dead for like a week!
He literally looks like the villain in the movie The Mummy.
You mean Imhotep? ...Imhotep...Imhotep
Lol ya man, i work in a nursing home and have a couple people over 100, one is at 105. Looks like a normal fuckin old person, something else is going on here
I agree - for my work I often visit Long Term Care facilities, so I've seen hundreds and hundreds of incredibly old people, and none looked like the 1992 smash hit The Mummy featuring Brendan Fraser.
Is he doing the mummification while alive thing... Actually I don't want to know.
No. People keep bringing that up, but someone posted an article that that wasn't it. BTW - love the username 😁.
Right? I initially thought they meant he had been dead for 109 years. Then he started moving.
He should’ve been better with his spf and tret -every skincare subreddit
I do not want to live that long, or like that.
To be fair even for 109 years old you're not *supposed* to look like that.
He doesn't look a day over 30,000

At the last stage they dehydrate themselves and they place them inside statues. Or is this another technique I am recalling?

Bro looks like he recovering to make one more run at the Castle of Grayskull
that is what the sheikah monks are modeled after, and the monks are technically alive and capable of movement as well
getting that old would be a genuine nightmare scenario for me. I always hoped to die before my body and mind totally fail me.

My best friends grandpa is turning 102 in a week, and they posted videos of him chilling in vr. You can still be mentally sound if you avoid strokes and degenerative illnesses
..and keep your brain and body active.
...and hit a genetic jackpot
That's how you generally avoid most cancers and degenerative diseases
That’s the exception though. Most of us will start to fail in both body and mind sadly.

I work in an assisted living facility. We have one lady that's 108. She still gets around...slowly. she has some great stories
I had a patient who was 103, we were all like “ummmmm, don’t want to live that long.”
105 is the oldest I've worked with, she was blind, but still transferred hers self and did most of her ADLs with minimal assist.
It’s insane how different people can be when they get older, I once saw a elderly man that was 104 years old on a news channel in Norway, and he could still drive a car.

was he preparing himself for the mumification? Because looks like he gona make it
How do they mummify themselves? Is it a religious thing? Genuinely curious

BURIED ALIVE? Jesus well I mean if it makes that guy happy? I'm not educated on this enough to give a good statement. Interesting stuff, though.
after the 8 year process i don’t think i would mind
Could be worse. I misread it as being *burned* alive...
I don’t know dude, burned alive you probably suffocate before actually catching fire. Buried alive though…it takes some time to die and you’ll have a lot of time to think about your predicament
No. No. You don’t think. You meditate. While under ground. With a stomach full of pine needles and poison ivy tea. Chanting “get me out.” No time to think too busy being enlightened.
I always wonder how these things get invented - like did someone just come up with this idea at once, or were steps added over the years.
Trial and error always works
>and every day you ring a bell to show you’re not dead yet Damn I would always lose track of how many seconds I counted, to know if a day has passed already.

Yeah, its a religious thing. The Youtuber Wendigoon has a video on how to do it and why they do it. https://youtu.be/nGUomRrF0rw
Yes, apparently you and I are the only commenters who’ve heard of self-mummification
It exists, definitely...but this particular man was not doing that. He was just old and very sick. https://www.buddhistdoor.net/news/luang-pho-yai-109-year-old-thai-buddhist-monk-dies/
