TL;DR

Lori and George Schappell, the world's oldest living conjoined twins, passed away at the age of 62. Born in Pennsylvania in 1961, they held the record for the oldest living conjoined twins and were the rarest form of conjoined twinning, sharing vital blood vessels and 30% of their brains. Despite their physical togetherness, they lived very different lives, with George working as a professional country singer and Lori earning a college degree and working in a hospital. The twins, who were featured in television documentaries and talk shows, passed away on April 7 of undisclosed causes.
