Samsung Electronics co-CEO Han Jong-hee has died of a heart attack at age 63, the company announced. Han, who oversaw consumer electronics and mobile, leaves newly-appointed Jun Young-hyun as sole CEO, effective immediately.

Jun, head of the underperforming chip division, now leads as Samsung navigates trade uncertainties and seeks to regain ground in the artificial intelligence chip market. Samsung has yet to name Han's successor.
