Of course a cursory examination of the photo will reveal that it is simply a common merman,
probably from Ormskirk.

"Out! Out! Quickly!" was the instruction my father issued, when we were last allowed to swim at Formby - or anywhere nearby.

Ambushed by a dangerous flotilla of Izals with Tampods and Johnny-Fish, we were lucky to reach the sea-beacon alive!

How is that supposed to be any kind of human-esque form?

For that matter, how is this supposed to be a "related story"? (That's what it says, right under the mermaid story, "related stories") :
"Alder Hey ambulances 'getting stuck' on way to hospital force roads rethink"
Is this supposed to explain how the mermaid died?

I guess that's your British socialist medicine for ya, your ambulance gets stuck, you die and the EMTs chuck your body in the ocean.
It's better to live over here where you get premium care if you can afford to pay through the nose for it.
Don't see any mermaids getting washed up on our shores, no sirree!

An uncommon Merman was from New York, but was cremated.

An uncommon Merman was from New York, but was cremated.

These days, she may have been called 'Merperson'.

I think her first name was Ethel.
