Fauja Singh, regarded as the oldest person and the first centenarian to complete a full marathon, has died at the age of 114 after he was struck by a vehicle near his village in Punjab, India, media reports said.

Fauja Singh, who became the oldest man to run a full marathon in 2011 at age 100, has died at age 114 after being hit by a car at his native village in Punjab.

Some of his feats could not be officially recognized by Guinness due to the lack of records about his birth. Fauja Singh, popularly known as the "turbaned tornado", has tragically passed away at 114 years old in a traffic accident.
