‘World’s most identical twins’ claim they DIED after using a cryotherapy chamber in botched anti-ageing treatment
SISTERS Anna and Lucy De Cinque, dubbed the "world's most identical twins" have claimed one of them "died for a minute" during a botched anti-ageing treatment.
Thankfully Lucy came back to life after "dying" while undergoing cryotherapy, which uses freezing or near freezing temperatures to restore and tighten the skin.

The treatment is offered at salons across the world and beloved by athletes and celebrities.
Liquid nitrogen cools cryo chambers to as low as -160C, with users immersed in them for two to three minutes.
This causes an adrenaline rush, narrows blood cells and reportedly tightens skin, burns calories and makes people look younger.
But the 34-year-old twins claim Lucy died after she was temporarily starved of oxygen when a treatment in their native Australia went wrong.
The dramatic encounter was explained by the twins - who share a boyfriend, Ben, and sleep in one giant bed with him - in a video posted on their YouTube channel.

Anna explained it was the second time they had been to a cryo chamber, and their first experience had gone swimmingly.
";[But] we had a bad feeling that day," explained Anna, breaking down in tears.
"She [Lucy] went in. You are meant to check to on people. The woman was saying, 'Lucy, Lucy you okay?'
"I wasn't talking," Lucy interrupted.
"I've never gotten over this," Anna said, crying. "I remember seeing Lucy on the floor, unconscious."
"I was dead," Lucy said. "I was dead for a minute."
Anna said: "She had no oxygen in the chamber. She wasn't breathing. She wouldn't wake up. I don't know if I blacked out."

Lucy explained: "It's affected Anna more as she saw me dead for a minute."
Lucy told how Anna "blames herself", adding she suspected her head had slipped into the liquid nitrogen, something which says is seemingly impossible.
"I don't understand what went wrong," said Lucy before Anna piped in: "I died you guys, I died."
They explained how they went to hospital and were giving the all-clear.
"It's affected me the rest of my life," said Anna.
"She saw me dead," agreed Lucy.
