The conjoined twins were reportedly born at 28 weeks of gestation and sadly, did not survive.

The twins were joined at the thorax and abdomen but shared one pair of upper and lower limbs and weighed 1.4kg.

Very few Dicephalic twins, children born with two heads on one body, actually survive past birth to full maturity.
