The world has sadly witnessed the passing of the oldest living conjoined twins, Lori and George Schappell, at the age of 62 in their hometown of Pennsylvania.
Lori and George Schappell, born on 18 September 1961 in Reading, Pennsylvania, shared a unique bond, being conjoined at the skull with separate bodies, with 30% of their brain and essential blood vessels connected.
Their remarkable journey ended on April 7 at the hospital of the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, as reported in their obituary. The cause of their death has not been disclosed.
