Billionaire French industrialist Martin Bouygues dies at 62

AFP issued an apology to French industrialist Martin Bouygues, chairman and CEO of the conglomerate Bouygues, for reporting his death

Billionaire French industrialist Martin Bouygues died on Saturday at the age of 62, a mayor in the northwestern Orne region, where he had a home, said.

Bouygues, who was CEO of the Bouygues construction and media conglomerate, passed away at his home in La Roche Mabile, Michel Julien, mayor of a neigbouring village in the Orne region, told AFP.

"I can only confirm his death," Julien said, refusing to be drawn on the circumstances.
