«Breaking News» Russian researchers claim 122-year-old was actually her 99-year-old daughter

The world's oldest woman, who died at the age of 122, may have been a fraud according to Russian scientists.

Jeanne Calment, from Arles, France, died in 1997, at the age of 122 years and 164 days, making her the oldest officially recognised person in history.

However, Russian researchers claim she was in fact Yvonne Calment, Jeanne's daughter, and had assumed her mother's identity to avoid paying inheritance tax.  

Fraud? Jeanne Calment, pictured enjoying her daily cigarette at the age of 117, may not have been the world's oldest person  - or even the woman she claimed she was - according to Russian scientists

Doubts: Jeanne Calment, pictured left in her old age and right as a young woman, died in 1997, at the age of 122 years and 164 days, making her the oldest officially recognised person 

Mathematician Nikolai Zak and gerontologist Valeri Novosselov studied biographies, interviews and contemporary photos, and claim their circumstantial evidence supports their theory.

'The analysis of all these documents led me to the conclusion that the daughter of Jeanne Calment, Yvonne, took the identity of her mother,' said Mr. Zak told AFP. 

Yvonne Calment died of pleurisy - a lung infection - in 1934, according to official records.

Mr Zak claims that this was a lie, and that it was Jeanne Calment who died, at the age of 59, and that Yvonne lived to the still-impressive age of 99.

Among his 'evidence' is a copy of the identity card of Jeanne Calment dating from the 1930s where the color of her eyes, her height and the shape of her forehead do not correspond with her appearance of her in later life. 

Claims: Russian scientists claim Jeanne Calment was in fact her daughter Yvonne, pictured together at an unknown date, who they say assumed her mother's identity to avoid paying inheritance tax

'As a doctor, I have always had doubts about her age, the condition of her muscles was different from that of the others of her age, she was sitting without support, she had no signs of dementia,' said Novoselov, who heads the Gerontological Section of the Moscow Society of Naturalists.

Mr Zak also claims that the fact that some of Ms Calment's photo archives were burned is proof that she was in fact Yvonne Calment.  

However, French demographer and gerontologist Jean-Marie Robine, who participated in Ms Calment's age validation by the Guinness Book of World Records in the 1990s, said she 'never had any doubt about the authenticity of the documents' of the 122-year-old. 

The mayor of Arles at the time of Ms Calment's death, Michel Vauzelle, says Mr Zak's theory is 'completely impossible and improbable'.  

Members of the Calment family did not respond to AFP's requests for interviews.

Should Jeanne Calment's record be made invalid, the official oldest living person would be American Sarah Knauss, who died at the age of 119 in 1999.

Link hienalouca.com Interesting to note Looking for an investor or sponsor for a project to grow dinosaurs and relict plants. Requires the sum of investments from 400000$ to 900000$. The exact amount can not say because there are many nuances. It will be necessary to build a small laboratory with certain parameters. To all interested persons please write on an email angocman@gmail.com . It is the scientific project and I do not know whether it is possible to earn on it. The probability of success of the project is approximately 60%. That will be very interesting.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
