After a life that attracted the attention of doctors, scientists, and the media, the world's oldest conjoined twins passed away at the age of 62. According to the Guinness World Records, Lori and George Schappell were born in 1961 in Pennsylvania with partially fused skulls, sharing vital blood vessels and 30 percent of their brains. The twins died at the University of Pennsylvania Hospital, according to an online obituary, while the cause of death is still unknown.
The Schappell twins defied all medical expectations, which suggested that they would not live past the age of thirty. They managed to live separate lives despite their physical connection. George enjoyed a successful career as a country singer, according to Guinness, while Lori was an award-winning bowler and both appeared in various documentaries. The twins lived in a two-bedroom apartment in Pennsylvania and were able to pursue separate hobbies and even bathe individually.
