Conjoined twins Jose Luis and Jose Armando Saballos Herrera, 27, from Ecuador, died on October 15 in Colombia, two days after documenting themselves standing for the first time. They were joined at the pelvis and shared legs and internal organs, and were followed by hundreds of thousands of viewers.

Conjoined twins Jose Luis and Jose Armando Saballos Herrera, 27, from Milagro, Ecuador, died on October 15 at a hospital in Siquira, Colombia, two days after posting an emotional video showing them standing on their own for the first time. The two, born joined at the pelvis and sharing a pair of legs and internal organs, moved to Colombia in April for rehabilitation treatments to improve their mobility. The recent progress gave them hope, but on October 14, Jose Luis's condition suddenly deteriorated, and they were rushed to the hospital, where they died. The brothers were internet stars with over 800,000 followers on TikTok and about 60,000 on Instagram, documenting their lives, struggles, and dream of walking on their own. In a farewell message from the team, it was written that they were happy when they fulfilled their dreams.
