Property tycoon Minoru Mori, who was one of Japan's most influential developers and built China's tallest building, has died.
Company officials said Monday that Mori, chairman of Mori Building Co., died last Thursday of heart failure. He was 77.
The company said Mori had been receiving medical treatment for some time but gave no further details.
Mori, from Japan's ancient capital of Kyoto, co-founded Mori Building with his father Taikichiro in 1959 and became president in 1993, when Japan's land prices were surging amid its "bubble" economy. (foxnews.com)
