Bloomberg:
Lee was operated on early yesterday at Samsung Medical Center after being resuscitated and stabilized the previous night at Soonchunhyang University Hospital following an acute myocardial infarction, according to an e-mailed statement from Samsung Group spokeswoman Rhee So Eui.
As to the question of succession planning:
Naming his son as vice chairman “was a clear step” in terms of succession, Heo Pil Seok, Chief Executive Officer at Midas International Asset Management Ltd. in Seoul, said by phone yesterday.
So, Samsung’s succession protocol is copied from North Korea? Why am I not surprised 🙂
Kim Jong Il died in the same way too.
Must be nice to have your own hospital to die in.
