Markus Jooste, the former head of the Steinhoff retail group that was at the centre of a huge corporate fraud case in South Africa, has died.
Police said Jooste succumbed to a gunshot wound in hospital, with local media reporting he shot himself at his home in the southern town of Hermanus.
It came a day after the 63-year-old was ordered to pay a $25m (£20m) fine.
The country’s financial regulator said Jooste had played a role in the publishing of misleading financial statements about Steinhoff International Holdings.
The retailer has suffered heavy losses, as have investors in South African pension funds, since an accounting scandal broke in 2017.
