As a rule, the surviving twin dies shortly after the other one.

If twins are conjoined and cannot be removed from each other its usually because they share a common necessary organ, Or in order to save one, then other would have to be lost. So in a situation like this, if one twin dies, the results of death (decomposition, or organ failure) would necessarily cause the other to die also. It would not be possible to salvage the live one at that point. It usually happens within hours.

i guess that they wouldn't be a twin anymore or he might die too... depending on the causes of the other twin's death.
