Capcom COO Mark Beaumont Passes Away
In a sad bit of news, Mark Beaumont, Capcom’s COO of North America and Europe, has tragically passed away. Beaumont was a well-known figure in the international games market, dedicating over a quarter of a century to the industry. Beaumont served as executive VP of publishing at Midway before taking a position as COO at Capcom in April 2008. During the early morning hours of February 23rd, 2010, Beaumont suffered a heart attack and died.
“This sudden loss has left us with deep sadness,” read Capcom’s official statement. “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.”
Game Informer is sorry to hear about Capcom’s loss and our heart and prayers also go out to the family and loved ones Mark left behind.
