oh damn
yea i found a couple cases
Chang & Eng Bunker (1811 - 1874) - Connected at the sternum. Chang died in his sleep, Eng died around three hours after waking up to discover his brother, probably of sepsis.
Daisy & Violet Hilton (1908 - 1969) - Joined at the pelvis. Daisy died of influenza, Violet died 24-48 hours later. (Exact time of death is uncertain, as it was several days before the sisters were found.)
it sounds
oh my god what a horrible existence, its like being buried alive in a pile of dead bodies
