Siamese twin fights for life

The surviving member of joined-at-the-head Siamese twins separated in an emergency operation was fighting for her life today as her family mourned the loss of her sister.

Alyssa Nolan was in a critical condition at the Royal Children’s Hospital, Brisbane, Australia, after undergoing a 20-hour operation over the weekend to separate her from her sister, Bethany. Bethany, who had heart trouble and other complications, died during the operation.
