Alice and Ellen Kessler, the celebrated German entertainers who rose to global fame in the 1950s and 1960s, have died at the age of 89 through medical aid in dying. Their passing was confirmed after officers arrived at their home in Grünwald near Munich, where no signs of foul play were found, according to Times Now's report on the Kessler Twins' cause of death.
The German Society for Humane Dying said the twins requested assisted suicide, a legal practice in Germany since 2019. Under the law, patients self-administer the prescribed medication. This distinguishes it from euthanasia, which remains illegal because a doctor administers the drugs. According to police statements and family directions, the decision was mutual and carefully planned, reflecting the inseparable bond that defined their lives on and off stage.
