Donnie and Ronnie Galyon, who were born joined at the abdomen, claimed the world record in 2014 shortly before they turned 63. Their younger brother Jim Galyon said he has received an outpouring of support following their deaths. A funeral with family and friends is scheduled for next week to allow time to build a coffin large enough for both of his brothers, Mr Galyon said. Jim Galyon said that their income supported their family for years. “Their bodies were tired and it was time,” Mr Galyon said.
