Capcom Chief Operating Officer (COO) Mark Beaumont passed away suddenly yesterday morning, suffering a heart attack, reports MCV. Beaumont started at Capcom in 2005, rose to senior vice president and executive vice president, and was promoted to COO in April of 2008. He had previously worked at a variety of other game developers, including Midway, Warner Interactive, Activision, Data East, Mindscape, Psygnosis, and Atari. Our thoughts are with his family and friends during this difficult time.

The Capcom Unity Blog mourned his passing with its own note. "We're all still recovering here at Capcom, and his loss has left us with a deep sadness," the entry read. "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 we do. Please join us in our memory of Mark."
