World's oldest conjoined twins die aged 62 after life spent fused at the head
12.04.2024 - 21:45 / dailyrecord.co.uk
The world's oldest conjoined twins have died at the age of 62.
Lori and her transgender brother, George Schappell, tragically passed away in a Pennsylvania hospital on Sunday. According to their online obituaries, the cause of death remains undisclosed.
The twins were born with partially-fused skulls and shared 30 per cent of their brains. As reported by the Mirror, the pair defied medical predictions that they wouldn't live past 30.
Lori was able-bodied, but George - who had spina bifida - used a wheelchair which his twin pushed around. George had a successful career as a country singer, while Lori pursued her passion for ten-pin bowling, even winning trophies.
In the '90s, Lori worked at a hospital laundry, arranging her shifts around George's gigs. George's country singer success took them on trips around the world, and the conjoined twins were able to visit Germany and Japan, as per the Guinness World Records.
They previously made headlines when George, originally named Dori, came out as transgender. They became the first same-sex conjoined twins to identify as different genders after George came out as a transgender man in 2007.
At that point, George changed his name from Reba - a name he adopted to honour his idol Reba McEntire because he disliked their rhyming names - to George.
