McDonald's Head Drops Dead At 60: Heart Attack - P2P-Zone

With the company for 28 years.

Clogged Arteries?

McDonald's Corp. chairman and CEO Jim Cantalupo, who helped engineer a turnaround of the fast-food chain by focusing on better food and service during 16 months at the helm, died unexpectedly of a heart attack Monday. He was 60.

The company moved quickly to name Cantalupo's successors. Charlie Bell, McDonald's 43-year-old president and chief operating officer, was elected CEO by the board of directors and will keep the president's title; Andrew J. McKenna, 74, the board's presiding director, was named chairman.

McKenna said Cantalupo was stricken in Orlando, Fla., where McDonald's was holding its international owner and operator convention.

"Jim was a brilliant man who brought tremendous leadership, energy and passion to his job. He made an indelible mark on McDonald's system," McKenna said.

Charlie Bell learnt to do everything at McDonald's. He started working there as a chip fryer at 15, was managing staff at 17 and even learned how to drive in a McDonald's car park.
