Baby Doc Dead of Heart Attack

Jean-Claude Duvalier, Haiti's brutal dictator, was exiled to France for 25 years, along with wife Michele nee Bennett. He returned home to Haiti in 2011 with companion Veronique Roy.

Authorities were trying to bring Duvalier up on charges of crimes against humanity for the hundreds of thousands of Haitians his death squads massacred during his rule. Duvalier died of a heart attack recently while eating breakfast.

Michele, who divorced in Duvalier in 1990, today resides in France.

Former Haitian First Lady Michele, the Power behind the Throne

Jean-Claude Duvalier, Haiti's bloodthirsty tyrant, married high school sweetheart Michele Bennett, making her First Lady of Haiti. She ingratiated herself with the public initially, but later developed a reputation for greed and corruption. She also wielded political power beyond her husband's abilities to get things done.

Michele gave Duvalier two children, a boy and a girl. After a 15-year rule, Duvalier and she fled to France where they eventually divorced.
