CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE, June 29, 1934  The front page has a one-column head: "Zaro Agha, the 160 Year Old Turk, Is Dead". A small photo of Agha is on the front page.
Zaro Aga was a Kurdish man who claimed to be one of the longest-living persons ever. He claimed he was born on February 16, 1774 and died on June 29, 1934 in Istanbul, Turkey. He was allegedly 160 years old when he died, and thus claimed to be one of the longest-living persons ever.
There is an ongoing debate as to his actual age. According to the death certificate provided by his Turkish doctor, Zaro Aga's age was 157. He died in Istanbul, although some confusion about the place of death exists, likely due to the fact that the body was sent to the U.S. right after his death. However, an investigative report published by Walter Bowerman in 1939 indicated that Zaro Aga was around 97, not 157.
