My search-fu is failing to find any material about George and Lori that isn't regurgitated news of their deaths.

I was hoping to find some material in medical journals describing the nature of their craniopagy and what the complications are regarding what neurological elements are shared. That might have been helpful understanding why they were not separated and what might have happened to the twins leading to their deaths.
