Former Haitian President, Leslie Manigat has died.
Manigat died early Friday after a long period of illness.
He was a prominent figure in the Haitian political establishment whose term as president was cut short by a military coup in 1988.
Deputy Secretary of Manigat's political party, Evans Baubrun said the former President's condition may have been complicated by a recent bout of chikungunya.
The debilitating mosquito-borne virus has been rapidly spreading in Haiti since the first locally transmitted cases emerged earlier this year.
