When Fort Lauderdale artist Reynald Poisson walked into the Haitian Heritage Museum with a sampling of his work, director Eveline Pierre said she instantly recognized talent.
"Very eclectic, not like the works of any other artist I knew," said Pierre, who went on to feature Poisson's work in an exhibition that ran at the Little Haiti museum duringArt Basel Miami 2011.
On Thursday, Pierre was one of many stunned by the death of the 51-year-old artist, whose body was found floating in a canal near Plantation in the 6700 block of State Road 84, according to the Broward Sheriff's Office.
Residents of the area spotted the body in the C-11 Canal at 10 a.m. Tuesday and called police.
Homicide detectives are investigating to determine if the death was suspicious, sheriff's spokeswoman Gina Carter said. The Broward Medical Examiner will rule on the cause of death.
