As the rebellion was gaining momentum, Sam ordered the arrest and murder of his political opponents, but was himself killed by a mob in retaliation on 27 July 1915. This led to a breakdown of order and widespread violence in the capital of Port-au-Prince. In response, U.S. Marines landed at Port-au-Prince on 28 July 1915, beginning the United States occupation of Haiti.
