Jean Clemens (July 26, 1880–December 24, 1909) was the youngest of the three daughters of Samuel Langhorne Clemens, better known by his pen name Mark Twain.
She had epilepsy from age 15, which her father attributed to a childhood head injury. Her epilepsy was not successfully controlled and at one point she was sent to an epilepsy colony in Katonah, New York.
She was found dead in her bath. The cause of death was reported as drowning due to epilepsy.
