Hope and Faith died Today [Tuesday May 27, 2014] in Australia after 19 days!

The conjoined twin girls of Australian origin, whose miraculous birth on May 8 shocked the world, have finally died at a hospital in Australia today, May 27 after living for just 19 days.

Hope and FaithHowie shared a body but had two separate faces and separate brains. The girls survived a miraculous birth and were christened on May 8. Both were born with an extreme rare condition medical experts have termed, disrosopus – which leads to a baby with two faces.

According to statistics, only less than 40 people in history are believed to have suffered from the same condition.

The girls’ mother Renee Young earlier told Women's Day that unless anyone sees them before it could be believed they truly exist adding that they both developed their own personalities.

"Sometimes Faith will cry and wake Hope up, who then looks sideways as if to say...Thanks for that. We are blessed we've got this far. I just find them adorable."

According to reports, Renee Young was originally advised to terminate the pregnancy but said her amazing little girls had a reasonable chance of survival if they made it to the five week mark.

'Each time I come means they've reached another milestone and pulled through another day,' their father Simon Howie said.

Renee reportedly went into labour at just 32 weeks.
