Yes I did see this before and I beleive that it died shortly after. Sad but I think I read that it was dying anyway and that they start to surface in noticable waters when they are sick or old. 
Yes it was dying di dyou notice the eyes looked milky. Ashame it died

milky? probably blind and a very old beast of the depths, most likely came from them too and after that, its got no chance.

that is the freakiest and most wierd thing i've ever saw. an eel body and a shark head. I agree with the other guy, japan must have used the different genes to create this creature
Considering that they say sharks have not evolved in over 60 million years....doesn't that make them ALL prehistoric?
actually the shark is blind like most creatures in the depths or simply have no eyes at all.

i know for a fact that sharks are not blind and they DO have eyes heres a quote
QUOTE
A great white shark at Isla Guadalupe, Mexico is approaching the cage with the divers.Shark eyes are similar to the eyes of other vertebrates, including similar lenses, corneas and retinas, though their eyesight is well adapted to the marine environment with the help of a tissue called tapetum lucidum. This tissue is behind the retina and reflects light back to the retina, thereby increasing visibility in the dark waters.
and im quite sure frilled sharks have eyes and eyesight aswell

This is not true! Deep water sharks generally have big eyes because such eyes are more useful for sight in very dim conditions. However, one known species of shark is actually called the "Blind Shark" (Brachaelurus waddi), but even this shark has small eyes.
Hence, no known species of shark is truly blind.
Nice going Meg Man! Love the Jaws quote by the way, tis awesom. 
Whoa, that thing looked creepishly freaky. It's sad that it died, although scientists can see how old the poor thing was. : o )
