* Napoleon kept his hand on his stomach due to abdominal pains, not because of fashion. He died of stomach cancer. * In 2010, when Tokyo officials went to congratulate Sogen Kato, the oldest man in the city for his 111th birthday, they instead found his skeletal remains in his bed. He was dead for 30 years and his descendants did not report his death in order to collect his pension.
