Ecuadorian conjoined twins José Luis and José Armando Cevallos, who were joined at the thorax and shared a liver and intestines, passed away in Colombia at the age of 27. The medical emergency reportedly began when José Luis experienced vomiting and illness. Following hospitalization, José Luis suffered a cardiac arrest. Although medical staff briefly reanimated him, José Armando subsequently suffered a heart attack, and doctors were unable to save either brother. An associate, Fernando Carrillo, suggested that a kidney infection may have triggered the cardiac events. The brothers, known online as ‘Siameses del Ecuador’, had traveled to Colombia to undergo medical treatment intended to improve their mobility and autonomy. They were also social media influencers with over 60,000 followers, having recently appeared on the Spanish program ‘Y ahora Sonsoles’. ~~Their social media management team released~~ Following their death on October 15, the remains of the brothers were returned to Milagro, Guayas province, for burial.
