Oldest living conjoined twins die at 62

The twins were born on Sept. 18, 1961, in West Reading, Pennsylvania and both graduated from public high school and took college classes.

The world's oldest living conjoined twins — Lori and George Schappell — have died. They were from the United States, and died at 62. 

The twins were listed — and their story followed — by Guinness World Records. They died on April 7 at a hospital in Pennsylvania. They were born on Sept. 18, 1961, West Reading, Pennsylvania and both graduated from high school and took college classes. 

Their obituaries were published by a funeral home who named them as Lori L. Schappell and Dori A. Schappel, the children of Franklin G. Schappell, Perry Twp., and the late Ruth G. (Reppert) Schappell.

The twins died at exactly the age of 62 years and 202 days old, Guinness said. 

The two had partially fused skulls and shared 30% of their brains along with vital blood vessels.
