James Mullen said in an email the actress died in Denver on
Saturday and that he had no more details to release about the
circumstances of her death.
Siggins played the character Legless Suzi on "American Horror
Story: Freak Show," a program on the FX network and was featured
in "The Woman with Half a Body," a 2005 documentary about her
life.
Mullen described Siggins, who traveled around on a skateboard,
as "an infinitely strong woman" on a Gofundme.com page he set up
to help pay for her medical expenses and support her two
children.
Siggins was born with a rare genetic disorder, known as Sacral
Agenesis, that severely deformed her legs, she said on her
website.
Siggins said her parents had her legs amputated when she was 2
years old and that their "insightful decision" allowed "her to
lead a fairly normal childhood."
