Eighty-seven years ago, on October 27, 1939, Louis Eugène Roy, a Haitian politician and banker, died in Port-au-Prince. Born in Haiti in 1861, he served as the President of the Republic of Haiti from May 15 to November 18, 1930.

Louis Eugène Roy took office after the Council of State opposed the re-election of outgoing president Louis Borno. He assumed his duties on the same day that his predecessor, Louis Borno, left office to organize legislative and presidential elections.

Sténio Vincent won these elections and succeeded Louis Eugène Roy as President of the Republic of Haiti on November 18 following.
