That is a wild story.

Any idea if it is true?

It is difficult to believe that this is a real news story, and not on the line with "Woman Gives Birth to Two-Headed Calf."

On Edit: I was RIGHT. It WAS too weird to be true. I Googled it, and the only source for it is Weekly World News, and the great majority of the news it prints is NOT true.

Satire.

The same website has a story about a famous racehorse to be executed in Saudia Arabia for being homosexual.

That site also has a story about a girl getting pregnant from a flu shot, and that Paul McCartney has secretly been dead for years.
