Conjoined Twin Influencers Dead at 27 After One Suffers Fatal Heart Attack

Social media stars and conjoined twins José Luis Cevallos and José Armando Cevallos have died at the age of 27.

The two shared the Instagram handle @SiamesesDelEcuador, which announced their deaths in a statement published on October 17.

“With deep sorrow, we share this official statement to inform about the departure of our beloved Siamese Twins from Ecuador 🕊️,” read the post’s caption, translated from Spanish.

“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. 🤍,” the message continued.

The caption concluded: “They Are Flying So High. Your legacy will live on forever. 🕊️”

A lengthier statement included in the post ended with a phrase their loved ones said represented them: “Where there’s a will, there’s a way, and a disability is no barrier to being happy.”

The pair had more than 61,000 followers on the platform, where they shared their everyday lives with fans. Their most recent post came just October 12, just days before their deaths, showing them loading a car trunk. Earlier this month, they even went paragliding.

The pair’s close friend Fernando Carillo spoke with Spanish news program Y Ahora Sonsoles following their deaths, saying they were hospitalized after José Luis went into cardiac arrest. Once he was stabilized, José Armado had a heart attack minutes later, killing them both.

“José Armando took José Luis with him,” Carillo told the outlet, adding, “they were born together and died together.”

Their brother Damián also spoke with the publication, saying their parents were “devastated” by the loss.
