Amédée Fengarol (born 30 March 1905 in Capesterre-Belle-Eau, Guadeloupe; died 11 January 1951 in Pointe-à-Pitre, Guadeloupe) was a Guadeloupean politician. He died in the street on the day of his election as communist mayor of Pointe-à-Pitre. The cause of death was contested, the communist party and the newspaper L'Étincelle continued for years to maintain he was assassinated, yet other witnesses confirm no trace of blood on his shirt and that he may have died of natural causes. In either case the accusation of foul play continued to destabilise the socialist government of Paul Valentino who had succeeded in getting himself reelected as mayor.[1]

^Construire l'histoire antillaise Lucien-René Abénon, Danielle Bégot, Jean-Pierre Sainton - 2002 "Aujourd'hui, de nombreux membres témoins en 1951 de ces événements, affirment qu 'Amédée Fengarol est mort de sa belle mort. Certains précisent même, qu'ayant examiné la chemise qu'il portait dans l'après-midi et n'ayant trouvé aucune trace de sang, ils ont eu très tôt la certitude qu 'il était mort de mort naturelle. Et pourtant, pendant plusieurs années, L'Étincelle va mener campagne et dénoncer l'assassinat. Cette campagne a un objectif politique : déstabiliser les socialistes et Paul Valentino qui a réussi à se faire réélire maire de la ville."
