Conjoined twins Jose Luis and Jose Armando Cevallos Herrera, aged 27, tragically passed away on October 15, 2026, in a hospital in Zipaquira, Colombia. The brothers, who were conjoined at the chest and pelvis, succumbed to cardiac emergencies following a sudden medical incident. Their passing occurred during a trip from Ecuador for rehabilitation, a journey undertaken to fulfill their ambition of walking independently.
