Prophete Talleyrand was a Haitian refugee who hung himself on Aug. 10, 1982. In the top photo his remains are carried by US Border Patrol agents into the forensic medicine office in San Juan. Soney Douyson is one of the first ones to leave (bottom photo). With boarding pass in hand, and a smile on his face he will try to pursue a career as a songwriter.
