Mostly True Unknown

Stone man syndrome converts damaged tissue into bones, gradually making the victim statue-like over many years.

Infact verdict: Mostly True (71/100).

Stone man syndrome, or fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP), is a rare genetic disorder where soft tissues gradually turn into bone. This condition is progressive, often starting in childhood, and over time can cause individuals to become statue-like as mobility reduces. However, no external evidence was found in this instance to specifically verify the claims.
