Capcom COO dies
Instead of focusing on a game today, I want to send my condolences out to a company.
Mark Beaumont, Capcom’s executive vice president, officer and Head of North America, South America and Europe consumer software publishing, died this morning. He was in his late 50s.
According to MCV, he died due to a heart attack, but Capcom will not confirm this.
Beaumont also had stints at Warner Interactive, Activision, Data East, Mindscape, Psygnosis and Atari.
Below is the release Capcom sent out about the passing.
“Our COO and dear friend, Mark Beaumont, passed away this morning. This sudden loss has left us with deep sadness. Our hearts go out to his family and loved ones. We will remember him for his humor, passion and commitment to Capcom and our industry. He was a great leader and visionary and his spirit will carry on in everything that we do. Please join us in memory of Mark.”
