Boy born with two heads and one upside down was thrown on fire before odd death

DAILY STAR

A boy with two heads, with one completely upside down on the head attached to his body, was launched into a fire at birth but miraculously survived.

When the boy was born he horrified the midwife assisting the birth so much that she threw him into a fire. Somehow he only suffered minor injuries.

Both of his heads were fully functioning and operated independently of each other, each with its own brain. One is said to have slept while the other way awake, and cry while the other smiled.

And, although they experienced the same pain, their responses to stimulants – with one head being very light-sensitive with poor vision.

The boy, who was thought by most as an oddity, was born in 1783 in Mundal Guat, Bengal, India. His parents, seeing a chance to make a quick buck, took him to Calcutta where people paid to see his unique condition.
