It’s a sad day at Capcom HQ today. Mark Beaumont, Capcom’s COO of North America and Europe, has passed away this morning due to a heart attack.
Beaumont was only given the position of COO at Capcom in April 2008, almost making two years in the role.
The rest of the folks at Capcom have expressed their condolences: “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.”
We will express ours, as well. Our prayers and deepest condolences go out to Mark’s family. Rest in peace.
