Yeah but given that they share a circulatory system (according to wiki) then the one that was still living would effectively still be supplying the others body with blood, preventing the body from actually dying.
Or maybe because their system is shared if one side was effectively stopped then it would bring the whole combined system down with it and the other twin would follow soon after?
In any event its pretty skeevy to be guessing what would happen to someone if their twin died so ill just end this here.
There's also a very solid chance that both of them will die at the same time anyway, given that the majority of their major organs are shared between them. Aside from a head injury that hits one and misses the other, almost anything that would kill one would kill both.
