This video predates the discovery of Joseph Merrick's proper name (Joseph, not John) as well as his diagnosis of Proteus Syndrome.
Neurofibromatosis was once thought to be the sole cause behind the deformities of Joseph 'The Elephant Man' Merrick. While that theory is likely incorrect, it is easy to see why the disease was pegged. Many researchers still believe Merrick had both Neurofibromatosis and Proteus as his deformities are not typical of either affliction.
The gentleman in this video has a serious form of Neurofibromatosis, lesser types manifest in small knots and skin tags.

Sucks ass. You can tell he would be a good looking guy other wise. Yet he still looks fine though. Good for him and us that he is doing something positive by talking to kids. Kids are assholes and it takes someone special to get their attention.

Major props to this guy. What a great outlook he has. I hope he's doing okay.

Is he still alive?

It's not anything too drastic. If I'd see him I'd think that he got fucked up in a fight or something along those lines.
