From the moment of their birth in Buffalo 92 years ago, twin brothers Julian and Adrian Riester rarely left each other's side.
They played together, went to school together, as young men traveled cross-country together -- and, in their 20s, joined the Franciscan order together.
And on Wednesday, after 65 years as identical twins wearing the identical brown robes of the Franciscans -- mostly at St. Bonaventure University -- Brother Julian Riester and Brother Adrian Riester died together at St. Anthony Hospital in St. Petersburg, Fla. Julian died Wednesday morning, followed by Adrian in the evening.

It's just these "simple" stories of us that makes me love which is unknown. Sad this one is, but intriguing.
Thank you so much for this one.

As a twin, twins have a bond nobody can understand unless you are one.
It is really weird honestly but kind of cool in a sense.

Scientists reckon that a heart is programmed at creation with a certain number of beats and when that number is reached the heart will stop beating. So if the brothers died of heart failure that would explain them dying so close together.

That gave me chills, this is why scientist study twins I guess.
