France insists world's 'oldest woman' was not fakeFrench officials have refused to change the death certificate of the oldest person on record despite claims of fraud by Russian researchers.Jeanne Calment died in 1997 aged 122 but a recent Russian study claimed she had in fact died in the 1930s.They claimed her daughter then assumed her identity in order to avoid paying inheritance tax.But a group of French specialists have discredited the accusations, stating that her age is "well-documented".Russian researchers Velery Novoselov and Nikolay Zak argued in the Rejuvenation Research scientific journal in December that Calment had in fact died in 1934 aged 59 and that it was her daughter Yvonne who had passed away in 1997 at the age of 99.The researchers stated that Yvonne had assumed her mother's identity in order to dodge paying inheritance tax.The researchers cited official documentation that seemed to state she had different eye colours at different times - indicating it was not the same person.
