From wikipedia:
Marchionne had for several years suffered shoulder pain and was subsequently diagnosed with an invasive shoulder sarcoma, the severity of which he concealed from his colleagues while he underwent treatment. The shoulder surgery was part of this treatment, a high-risk operation.[41][42]
During the operation Marchionne lapsed into a coma, suffering severe brain damage with little chance of recovery.[43] He died on July 25, 2018, at age 66.
