Tuesday, Sen. Jean Renel Sénatus, President of the Justice and Security Committee of the Senate, based on rumors circulating on the internet suggesting that former President Préval may have died from unnatural causes. Sent a letter to the Minister of Justice asking him to instruct the Government Commissioner to conduct an autopsy on the body of the deceased in order to shed light on the cause of his death.

Letter of the Senator Jean Renel Sénatus :

"Port-au-Prince, March 7, 2017

Mr. Camille Edouard Junior

Minister of Justice and Public Security

In its Offices.-

Mr. Minister,

The Justice, Security and National Defense Committee of the Senate of the Republic addresses you its patriotic greetings and informs you that information not yet confirmed or reversed circulates around the death of former President René G. Préval, favoring a thesis of poisoning.

On the basis that the State has a monopoly on investigations, prosecution of legal repression and the need to promote the harmony of all elements of society, also referring to Article 34 of the Code of Criminal Procedure in force, the Commission would be grateful if you could instruct the Government Commissioner of the Tribunal of First Instance of Port-au-Prince to carry out an inquiry in this case, to address the heads of the Medico Legal Institute (IML) for the body to be autopsied before the funeral of the former President and that a report should be copied promptly.

Patriotically

Jean Renel Senatus, MA, Av.

President of the Commission

Justice, Security of the Senate."

On the same day we learned, according to the information available, that at the request of his wife, René Préval had been autopsied at the Forensic Institute by Dr. Jean Armel Demorcy, Director of the Institute. However, various analyzes would be in progress before being able to publish the findings of the autopsy, what takes time said a medical source at the Institute.
