I couldn't believe when i saw this unusual sight because this is the first time i have seen a human mermaid. Shiloh, aged 10, looked so cheerful in the video right down, but now she is safer in the lords care. It is sad that this intelligent and beautiful little girl is no more. She died on Friday 23rd from a pneumonia following a cold and was hospitalized days prior to her death.

She was very famously known as the mermaid girl who was born with a rare condition called 'mermaid syndrome'. Her legs were fused together from the waist. She had no genital organs and only one kidney worked partially. At her birth, doctors assumed she wouldn't survive for more than hours or maybe days, but they were proven wrong and the little girl lived 10 years of her life in zest. In some cases the legs could be separated but Shiloh's surgery couldn't be done for her blood vessels that crossed from side to side in her circulatory system, could have been severed.

Its a happy/sad story, the whole of it from her birth till she dies. I'm overwhelmed with remorse right now.. she also had the privilege to feature on The Oprah Winfrey show

May her soul RIP.. and my thoughts and prayers to the family in these tough hours.

    Hi Nisha,
    That was a very sad video. This is the first time I hear about this syndrome.

    Thanks for the sharing.
    May her soul rest in peace.

    this is a very inspiring story yet a sad one. i've heard about her over the news and on the net. she looks healthy despite her physical differences but yea, things happen as they do... may she rest eternally in God's loving arms.
