It happens that a person grows up in body, remaining a child in his soul. But it also happens the other way around.
Jaylee Lingdo was born in northern India in a place called Meghalaya 26 years ago. And, despite his quite mature age, you won't give him more than two years: his height is a little more than 80 centimeters, his weight is about 11 kilograms.
Jiley's mental development also stalled at about the same stage - that is, he can rightfully and quite literally be called the oldest child on Earth. Lingdo's parents, ordinary farmers, still dress their son in blouses and caps from baby shops.
The only thing in his body that betrays an adult in him is his teeth. Well, gestures and facial expressions are also not babyish.
Doctors say that most likely the young man will remain in the "trap" of his little body for life. Unless, of course, there is some incredible breakthrough in medicine.
The reason for this amazing phenomenon was the rarest disorder in the development of the hepophysis, as a result of which the production of growth hormones is blocked. This disease is the flip side of another disease - progeria, in which a person quickly grows old and dies.
