CHICAGO (Reuters) - McDonald's Corp. (MCD.N) Chairman and Chief Executive Jim Cantalupo, who helped turned the company around with a focus on better food and service, died on Monday of an apparent heart attack, the company said.
Cantalupo, 60, died in Orlando, Florida, where he was attending a McDonald's meeting for its restaurant owners and operators.

It's certainly a news bit that we can file under "ironic." I wouldn't be surprised if Reuters files it under "Oddly Enough," given their sick sense of humor.

WSJ.com's Opinion Journal said:
Brite is a journalistic term of art that refers to an amusing, offbeat story... Reuters runs them under the heading "Oddly Enough." So here's Reuters' idea of a brite: "An Iranian man, convicted for raping and killing his 16-year-old nephew, will be executed by being thrown off a cliff in a sack, a newspaper reported on Thursday. If the unnamed man survives the fall down a rocky precipice, he will be hanged, legal experts said."

Not the first time & probably not the last. Inky had it, I saw the irony of the man changing McD's to a healthier menu over the man's actual death.
 
He's one of the best things that ever happened to McDonalds. Hope Bell can keep it up.
