Three days of mourning for Haiti carnival victims
The Haitian government has cancelled the last day of this year's Mardi Gras in Port au Prince after revellers on a float were electrocuted.
Seven died in the initial accident on the float, as someone attempted to move an overhead power line with a pole. At least nine others died in a stampede that followed.
The BBC's Gary O'Donoghue explains.
