Lori and George Schappell have left this world at the age of 62.
Until their passing, they held the distinction of being recognized as the world’s oldest conjoined twins.
The siblings, renowned for their exceptional bond and extraordinary medical condition, passed away on Sunday at a hospital in Pennsylvania, as indicated by their online obituaries.
The specific details surrounding their passing remain undisclosed.
Born with partially-fused skulls and sharing 30 percent of their brains, Lori and George defied medical expectations from an early age. Despite doctors’ predictions that they wouldn’t surpass the age of 30, the twins continued to defy the odds, captivating the attention and admiration of people worldwide with their resilience and profound closeness.
Born on September 18, 1961, Lori once shared with The Sun: “When we were born, the doctors didn’t think we’d make 30, but we proved them wrong.”
Despite being physically connected throughout their entire lives, the twins possessed distinctly different personalities and interests.
Lori excelled as a 10-pin bowler, while George was known for his enthusiasm as a country and western singer.
