On 8 February 1986, when the Duvalier regime fell, a crowd attacked Duvalier's mausoleum, throwing boulders at it, chipping off pieces from it, and breaking open the crypt. Duvalier's coffin was not inside, however. A prevailing rumor in the capital, according to ''[[The New York Times]]'', was that his son had removed his remains upon fleeing to the [[United States Air Force|U.S. Air Force]] in a transport plane to Paris the day before.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.ina.fr/economie-et-societe/vie-sociale/video/CAB86003648/evenements-haiti.fr.html |title=Evénements Haïti, Archives INA |access-date=7 May 2022 |archive-date=6 July 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100706014601/http://www.ina.fr/economie-et-societe/vie-sociale/video/CAB86003648/evenements-haiti.fr.html|url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.ina.fr/economie-et-societe/vie-sociale/video/CAB86003709/violence-a-haiti.fr.html |title=Profanation du tombeau de François Duvalier, Archives INA |access-date=7 May 2022 |archive-date=23 August 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120823032554/http://www.ina.fr/economie-et-societe/vie-sociale/video/CAB86003709/violence-a-haiti.fr.html |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1986/02/09/world/haitians-take-out-28-years-of-anger-on-crypt.html|title=Haitians Take Out 28 Years of Anger on Crypt|newspaper=[[The New York Times]]|date=9 February 1986|last1=Brooke|first1=James}}</ref>
