Yamin spokeswoman Monet Corso says Claudette Yamin died at Henrico
Doctor's Hospital in Richmond on Monday night. The cause of death is
not being released, but Corso says Yamin had complications over the
last year stemming from hip replacement surgery.
Elliott Yamin came in third during the fifth season of the Fox
