According to Haiti Press Network, it appears that they may have been electrocuted after the car touched an electric cable!!
Absolutely unbelievable. You would be surprised at how many deaths by electrocution occur in Haiti. Bare electric cables can sometimes be seen hanging loose, and it doesn't get fixed for days. People take "prise" (wiretaps) and leave dangerous cables exposed. The list goes on and on.
Sometimes, since there may be no electricity, a potential problem can go unnoticed for months, then when the electricity comes back on and there is a rain storm, people get electrocuted. In Haiti, any place with electric cabling is an accident waiting to happen.
They got into an accident and could have been recovering from broken bones or something...but due to what is most likely poor maintenance, now they are dead.
