Record-breakers Ronnie and Donnie Gaylon passed away in a hospice in their hometown of Dayton, Ohio on July 4. Their whole lives in sync, they had to work together to complete everyday tasks, initially being trained by occupational therapists. Younger brother Jim became their full-time carer in their later years, with the community of Dayton even concocting them a specialised home. In 2014, they became the oldest living conjoined twins in the Guinness Book of World Records, overtaking Chinese brothers Chang and Eng Bunker who died at 62.
