Claude Guillemot, a co-founder of the global gaming giant Ubisoft, has died in a plane crash in western France, authorities confirmed on Saturday. Mr Guillemot was aboard a twin-motor Cessna 421 that crashed Friday evening near La Baule airport on the Atlantic coast.
The aircraft was also carrying a flight instructor; both individuals were licensed and experienced pilots and were killed in the incident, Mayor Franck Louvrier stated. An investigation into the crash is now underway. An airport official, speaking anonymously, told The Associated Press the plane came down in a field just before landing at La Baule-Escoublac Airport.
