The man had spent the past 26 years living in total isolation and became known as the 'Man of The Hole' for his habit of digging deep holes to trap animals or hide in.

His body was found on 23 August in a hammock outside his straw hut and there had been no signs of violence. The man is believed to have died from natural causes at an estimated age of 60.

The man was the last of an indigenous group living in the Tanaru indigenous area in the state of Rondonia, on the border of Bolivia.

The majority of his tribe are believed to have been killed in the early 1970s by ranchers wanting to expand their land and he had been the lone survivor since 1996.

Indigenous expert Marcelo dos Santos told local media that the man had placed feathers on himself in the knowledge that he was about to die.

Dos Santos said: "He was waiting for death, there were no signs of violence."

Wow total isolation for all those years....

Is this an RIP thread? My favourite memory of nameless man was when he...

I'm joking, obvs. It's amazing he survived so long as the 'last man standing', and hope his life was not too full of fear. It's amazing to think there are still tiny pockets of the planet which, or tiny numbers of people who, remain (largely) undiscovered.

Same. I think it's very sad when indigenous tribes/ethnic groups die out and their customs, culture and language go too. I think we're going to lose a great richness of the global family if we continue. Bolonsaro's policies are absolutely horrendous towards indigenous people
