Nace bebé con 2 cabezas (Lared Noticias Juarez)

A conjoined pair of twins in Mexico with two separate heads but sharing the same body has died before any treatment could be conducted on them.

On Jan. 6, a short video of the crying baby boys was posted by their relatives on YouTube but the local news website LaredNoticias.com reported on Monday, Jan. 9, that the twins had already passed away.

Doctors said that they were actually looking at a "plan going forward" for the boys before they died.

Mexico's Institute of Social Security confirmed the children's death but did not release further details. Jesus Urrutia, the director of the clinic, said that the clinic refuses to divulge more information in a bid to protect the privacy of the family. Nonetheless, he said that the twins' mother is in good health condition.
One Body, Separate Brains And Heads

The children who were born in the city of Ciudad Juarez in Mexico share one body and are believed to share all of their major internal organs. Each of the boys, however, had their own heads and brain.

In the video shared on YouTube, the twins were shown with tubes leading to their noses. One of the twins was crying while the other was visibly upset. Prior to their death, the twins were reportedly in stable condition as reported by the Mexican news station Canal Cuarenta Cuatro.
