A pair of identical twins, Clare and Rachel Wallmeyer, 42, who became famous through their desperate battle with anorexia, have died in a house fire.
---
In a poignant review of their lives they said in recent years that they had never been in love, never had a job and they believed that it was only a matter of time before they died.
---
Their deaths in the fire are believed to have been accidental.
---
Yet there had been reports over the years of the women each trying to kill one another.
---
The twins developed severe eating disorders in their early teens losing more weight when they became addicted to long-distance running. They were so obsessed with marathons that they each suffered stress fractures in their feet
---
Rachel told Melbournes Herald Sun newspaper on one occasion that no-one understood anorexia until they have lived it. Its like the Grim Reaper a black hole in your soul, she said.
---
Rachel said that Clare was the only person who remained by her side. And at least well die together.
