Catholic leader killed in earthquake
Joseph Serge Miot, the Catholic Archbishop of Port-au-Prince, is amongst the tens of thousands of victims of the Haiti earthquake.
His body was found crushed in the ruins of his office. The magnitude 7 quake, which hit south of the capital Port-au-Prince, wrecked the Presidential Palace, UN HQ, the Cathedral and Archbishop's Residence.
It also appears that the Anglican cathedral has been destroyed, along with other churches, with some worshippers killed while a service was in progress.
