Tributes pour in for conjoined Australian twins who die after 19 days
In just 19 days, they stole Australia’s heart.
The girls, Hope and Faith, were conjoined at birth.
They shared a body but two separate faces and separate brains, Mail Online reported.
On Tuesday, Australia Channel 9’s A Current Affair revealed on its Twitter account that they have died.
“We are blessed we’ve got this far. I just find them adorable,” the girls’ mother, Renee Young, earlier told Australian magazine Woman’s Day.
The girls survived a miraculous birth on May 8 and were christened on the same day.
Rare condition
They were born with the extremely rare condition known as disrosopus — which leads to a baby with two faces.
Less than 40 people in history are believed to have suffered from the condition.
