Capcom Loses Mark Beaumont, COO, Member of Their Corporate Family

Late yesterday, Capcom released this short, heartfelt email:

"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. "

It's our sad duty to report that Mr. Beaumont suffered from a heart attack.  Mark worked with many game companies in his career, including Activision, Atari, Data East, Midway, Mindscape, Psygnosis, and Warner Interactive.  Our sympathies to the surviving family members and the Capcom community.
