Report: Thai man with world's longest hair dies

By Associated Press, 8/22/2001 23:18

BANGKOK, Thailand (AP) A Thai man who reportedly had the world's longest hair has died, a newspaper reported Wednesday.

Hu Sengla, whose hair was 19 feet 1 inch long, died Tuesday of complications from a stroke, said Thai Rath, Thailand's largest newspaper.

It said Hu, a member of the Hmong hill tribe minority, was 77 years old, but other accounts indicated he was at least 87 and give his name as Hoo Sateow. Authorities in Mon Nga village in the northern province of Chiang Mai could not be reached for comment.

Hu was listed in the Guinness Book of Records as having the longest hair. When a Guinness judge came to measure his mane in 1997, Hu said he had cut it when he was 18 and fell ill, so he decided never to cut it again.

''Since then, I've been able to call up ghosts to help heal the sick,'' said Hu, who was regarded as a shaman by fellow villagers.

Hu's hair attracted large, curious crowds when he washed it once a year, the newspaper said.

Hu's older brother, Yi, has hair that is 16 feet 6 inches long.

I had to check this post out, since the title didn't say whether the hair was in his nose, or some other weird place...

Almost at the bottom of the story they finally say it was on his head.

Washed it once a year? Glad he lived so far away.
