Fort-de-France: France’s oldest man Jules Theobald has died at the age of 112, media reports said Tuesday quoting his family. Theobald, who hailed from the Caribbean island of Martinique, a French overseas department, died at his home in the island’s main city Fort-de-France. Born on April 17, 1909 -- though family legend had it he was born two years earlier -- the father of three worked as a docker and a fisherman.
