Lori and George Schappell, born on 18 September 1961 in Reading, Pennsylvania, shared a unique bond, being conjoined at the skull with separate bodies, with 30% of their brain and essential blood vessels connected.

Their remarkable journey ended on April 7 at the hospital of the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, as reported in their obituary. The cause of their death has not been disclosed.

George, who had spina bifida, relied on a mobility device, while Lori took on the role of pushing and steering his wheeled stool, facilitating their movement together. Theirs was the rarest form of conjoined twinning, affecting only 2% to 6% of conjoined twins, as reported by NBC Today.
