Yvonne Marie Nicolle Calment (19 January 1898 – 19 January 1934) was the daughter of the French supercentenarian Jeanne Calment who died on her 36th birthday, much before her mother.
Biography[edit]
Yvonne was the only child of Jeanne Calment and Fernand Nicolas Calment (1868–1942). Yvonne married army officer Joseph Billot on 3 February 1926, and their only son, Frédéric, was born on 23 December of the same year.[1]
She died of pleurisy on 19 January 1934.[2][3] Her death certificate was signed by an unqualified woman in her seventies.[4][5]
Identity swap theory[edit]
Yvonne is the subject of a theory in which it was Jeanne who actually died in 1934, with Yvonne usurping her mother's identity, faking Jeanne's death as her own and continuing to live as Jeanne[6][5] to avoid paying the heavy inheritance taxes that would ruin her family's finances.[6][4] That would make Yvonne 99 years old at the time of her death in 1997 and invalidate the claim to the oldest person ever.[7]
