Mehmet Ozyurek, the Guinness World Record holder for having the longest nose in the world, has died at the age of 75. The news of his death was announced by the Guinness World Records (GWR) on their official website, expressing their condolences.
Ozyurek’s extraordinary nose measured an astounding 3.46 inches, a record that was officially recognized by GWR in November 2021. This wasn’t the first time he held the title, as he had previously been awarded the distinction of having the longest nose on a living male in 2001 on ‘Guinness World Records: Primetime in Los Angeles’, and again in 2010 on the set of ‘Lo Show dei Record’ in Italy.
GWR described Ozyurek as a beloved individual who was widely known for his enthusiasm for life. He often spoke about feeling blessed to possess a record-breaking nose, which was a source of pride for him. His zest for life and his positive outlook captured the hearts of many.
He recently fell ill and suffered a heart attack. He was scheduled to undergo surgery, and despite the efforts of doctors to save him, they were unable to revive him.
