Nintendo Co., Ltd. deeply regrets to announce that President Satoru Iwata passed away on July 11, 2015 due to a bile duct growth.

I knew about the bile duct tumour, but I, like probably everyone else, thought he was on the mend... Still shocked by the news.
May he rest in peace.

It truly is a horrible event... It was nice to see a lot of NIWA wikis put up a memorial of some sort on their front page, though.

It's really sad for that to happen. It is so shocking.
