• Andic fell into a ravine while hiking in caves near Barcelona, according to reports.
• Andic and his family have an estimated net worth of $4.5 billion, according to Forbes.

Isak Andic, the billionaire founder of the European fashion company Mango, died on Saturday. He was 71.

Andic, who served as the company's non-executive chairman, died after an accident, Mango CEO Toni Ruiz said in a press release.

"Isak has been an example for all of us. He dedicated his life to Mango, leaving an indelible mark thanks to his strategic vision, his inspiring leadership and his unwavering commitment to values that he himself imbued in our company," Ruiz said in the press release.

Ruiz praised Andic's "care and affection that he always had" for the company.

Pedro Sánchez, the prime minister of Spain, said in a post on X that Andic died in an accident in the caves of Salnitre in Collbató, which is just outside of Barcelona.

According to multiple reports, Andic fell into a ravine while hiking through caves with his family. The ravine was over 320 feet deep, CNN reported, citing local police.

On Sunday, Mango's website featured a tribute to Andic on its home page, and photos show the flags at the company's headquarters in Barcelona flying at half-mast.

Andic started the company in Barcelona in 1984. According to Mango's website, it's now in over 120 markets and has a thriving online presence. Forbes reported that Andic and his family are worth $4.5 billion.

The week before Thanksgiving, Marshall Brain sent a final email to his colleagues at North Carolina State University. "I have just been through one of the most demoralizing, depressing, humiliating, unjust processes possible with the university," wrote the founder of HowStuffWorks.com and director of NC State's Engineering Entrepreneurs Program. Hours later, campus police found that Brain had died by suicide.

NC State police discovered Brain unresponsive in Engineering Building II on Centennial Campus around 7 am on November 20, following a welfare check request from his wife at 6:40 am, according to The Technician, NC State's student newspaper. Police confirmed Brain was deceased when they arrived.

Brian Gordon, a reporter for The News and Observer in Raleigh, obtained a copy of Brain's death certificate and shared it with Ars Technica, confirming the suicide. It marks an abrupt end to a life rich with achievement and the joy of spreading technical knowledge to others.

• Chuck Woolery died on Saturday, November 23, at the age of 83.
• The legendary game show star was best known as the original host of "Wheel of Fortune."
• Woolery became a conservative commentator and Trump supporter later in his life.

Chuck Woolery, the media personality best known for hosting the game shows "Wheel of Fortune" and "Love Connection," died on Saturday at the age of 83.

Woolery's friend and podcast co-host Mark Young said in a statement on X: "It is with a broken heart that I tell you that my dear brother has just passed away. Life will not be the same without him, RIP brother."

Young, who hosted the podcast "Blunt Force Truth" with Woolery, told the Associated Press that the star had died at his home in Texas with his wife present.

Born in Ashland, Kentucky, Woolery found early success in the music world after serving a stint in the US Navy.

In 1968, he scored a Top 40 hit with the song "Naturally Stoned" as part of a pop group called The Avant-Garde.

After failing to follow up the success as a solo artist, Woolery turned to acting in the 1970s.

However, it was through his role as the original host of the hugely popular game show "Wheel of Fortune" that he really made his name.

The NBC show, which premiered in 1975, earned Woolery a Daytime Emmy nomination. His six-year tenure on the show ended in 1981 following a pay dispute.

Woolery was also known for his time on "Love Connection," where he coined the phrase, "We'll be back in two minutes and two seconds."

Across his career, he hosted several other shows, including "Scrabble" and "Lingo." He was inducted into the American TV Game Show Hall of Fame in 2007.

Later in life, Woolery became a vocal supporter of Donald Trump and often shared his political views on X.
