Alice and Ellen Kessler, renowned German twin sisters aged 89, were found dead together at their home in Gruenwald near Munich. According to the German newspaper Bild, they chose to end their lives via assisted suicide. The police arrived after their deaths and have opened an investigation, but authorities have stated that their death is not attributed to third parties. Born on August 20, 1936, in Nerchau, Saxony, the Kessler sisters gained fame through their television appearances in Germany and Italy, where they were known as the 'legs of the nation' for their iconic performances. They had expressed their desire to die together, even planning to be buried in a single urn beside their mother Elsa and their dog Yello. Ellen had recently reaffirmed this wish in an interview, recalling her romantic relationships and their pioneering dance acts post-World War II. Their career included participation in popular variety shows such as 'Winter Garden,' 'Studio 1,' and 'Canzonissima,' and they had donated their wealth to Medici Sans Frontieres in 2006. The sisters had never married but maintained close bonds and shared a lifelong career in entertainment.
