A man managed to 'cheat death' by moving to a 'blue zone' island after being told that he only had nine months to live.

It was back in 1976 when Stamatis Moraitis was given the terrible news that he only had nine months left to live following a lung cancer diagnosis.

After receiving the news, Stamatis decided to leave the US - where he'd started a life and a family - and return to his home island of Ikaria in Greece.
