The elephant man, whose real name was Joseph Merrick, was a Victorian man who suffered from Protheus syndrome, which has severely distorted his skeleton. He spent his time in a workhouse doing menial jobs for food and shelter and was picked up by a freak show company in 1884.
Despite hardships, he was rescued by Dr. Frederick Treves from London hospital and a public fund was setup to take care of his expenses.
