Gen. Antonio Kebreau ousted and exiled Daniel Fignole, ridding Dr. Duvalier of his most powerful competitor. Dr. Duvalier consequently came into power and persecuted thousands of the Fignole supporters.
In 1986, after the fall of Jean-Claude Duvalier, who succeeded his father, Fignole returned from a long exile to Port-au-Prince.
Daniel Fignole died in Canape Vert Hospital of prostate cancer at the age of 71.
