We've found several. This is from a 2003 article, so there might be more recent finds, too.
"An international team of astronomers has discovered the sixth known binary consisting of two neutron stars — collapsed stellar cores that cram about 1.4 solar masses into spheres about the size of a city."

None has been conclusively confirmed yet, yet many stars have been noted with motions recent in known binary celebrity systems yet with none seen stellar significant different to account for the action. Astronomers have self belief that for the time of such systems the 2nd physique is the two a neutron celebrity or a black hollow. additionally, astronomers are exploring the possibility that some gamma-ray bursts are brought about by using binary neutron stars colliding.

Yes. You have some good answers already. Gamma ray bursts are the main cause of of these binary systems making contact.
