FATE OF 200 KIN, FRIENDS UNCERTAIN AFTER ONE MAN'S DEATH TURMOIL IN HAITI EXACTS HEAVIER TOLL WHEN PROVIDER DIES
2004
Overview
\"The head of the family has been chopped off! What will we do?\" wailed a mourner, as Visne's family - led by his 8-year-old son, holding a floral wreath - carried the casket from the family's thatched-roof home to a simple concrete crypt in the backyard. Visne's pregnant wife, Wilande, sat distraught, while the man's brother, 20-year-old Gustave Visne, flailed in agony on the concrete floor, prompting relatives to whip him with branches in a practice Haitians say drives away spirits. For the Visne family, there is nowhere to turn. [Ronald Paul], the cousin of the dead patriarch, sat in his two-room Port-au-Prince home two days after the [Maniche] funeral, his baby daughter asleep on the concrete floor. He wondered how he will find a way to feed his own wife and four children as well as help Visne's widow. [Jean Elieser Visne] died in a vehicle collision during the recent chaos in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Above, a brother of Visne's wiped away tears during the seven-hour trip for the funeral. / GLOBE PHOTO / ESSDRAS M SUAREZ
