PRAYERS: Fans are mourning the loss of 27-year-old conjoined twin influencers José Luis Cevallos and José Armando Cevallos. The conjoined twins, from Ecuador, passed away on Thursday (October 15). Fernando Carrillo, a close friend of the twins, told a local news outlet, Y Ahora Sonsoles, the conjoined siblings died after one suffered a heart attack.
Carrillo said the twins were first hospitalized after José Luis began feeling unwell and throwing up. The family initially believed he was sick with a virus and took the twins to the hospital. José Luis then suffered a cardiac arrest. Doctors were able to stabilize him.
However, a few minutes later, José Armando suffered a heart attack and they both died, as doctors were unable to save them. Carrillo said, “José Armando took José Luis with him. They were born together and they died together.”
The twins’ brother, Damián Cevallos, also spoke with Y Ahora Sonsoles. He said that him and his parents were “devastated” following the twin’s passing. Translated from Spanish, he said, “I have no words to describe how my parents feel.”
On Thursday, the twins’ social media team shared a post to their Instagram page. Translated from Spanish, the caption read:
“With deep sorrow, we share this official statement to inform about the departure of our beloved Siamese from Ecuador 2 🕊️. We sincerely thank all the people who accompanied them, supported them and helped them achieve their dreams. Their joy, their story, and the love they sowed will remain in our hearts forever🤍.
