An inseparable set of twins that rose to fame as dancers and singers in the ’50s recently has died the same way they rose to fame — together.
Alice and Ellen Kessler , German twin sisters whose talents made them popular throughout Europe, died by joint assisted suicide on Monday, according to the German Society for Humane Dying .
The Kessler twins died in Grünwald, a Munich suburb, at the age of 89.
“The decisive factor is likely to have been the desire to die together on a specific date,” DGHS spokesperson Wega Wetzel told CNN . “Their desire to die was well-considered, long-standing, and free from any psychiatric crisis.”
Assisted dying was legalized in Germany after a 2020 court ruling.
Ellen Kessler revealed to a German tabloid last year that the pair would be cremated
