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

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.

She died of pleurisy on 19 January 1934. Her death certificate was signed by an unqualified woman in her seventies.

Identity swap theory

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 to avoid paying the heavy inheritance taxes that would ruin her family's finances. That would make Yvonne 99 years old at the time of her death in 1997 and invalidate the claim to the oldest person ever.
