    just read it ... sad &tragic

    The former Chairman of the Board of Management and Supervisory Board of Volkswagen AG and major shareholder of Porsche Holding therefore traveled to Upper Bavaria for an event. At a dinner in a Rosenheim restaurant, the former manager suddenly collapsed in the eyes of his wife Ursula Piëch.

    Rescue workers were called in, Piëch was reportedly admitted to the Rosenheim Hospital. There, the 82-year-old died. The cause of his collapse is still unclear.

    That is rather saddening. A loss to the community.
    I wonder what that may mean for Porsche Holdings.
