Shiloh Pepin (August 1999-Oct. 23, 2009) was one of six people in the world with the disease sirenomelia, nicknamed Mermaid Syndrome. Her two legs joined together when they were formed in the womb, giving her one leg. Doctors initially thought Shiloh would live for 72 hours, but the little girl celebrated her 10th birthday before she died of a blood infection in October 2009. She appeared on Oprah to tell her story and gained national attention for her spunk and upbeat attitude.
Shiloh Pepin, who was born with sirenomelia, or "mermaid syndrome," has died at the age of 10. She passed away last Friday in Maine.
Sirenomelia is a condition in which one's legs are fused together from the waist down. Pepin did not have any genital organs or a large intestine. Most children born with sirenomelia die soon after birth.
