    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Canadian entrepreneur Daniel Langlois and his partner have been found dead in the Caribbean island nation of Dominica under suspicious circumstances.

    The Daniel Langlois Foundation, a philanthropic organisation created by the entrepreneur in 1997, said in a statement on Monday that the couple “died in tragic circumstances” on 1 December.

    “In the coming weeks and months, details of the exact circumstances of their passing will be revealed as the Dominican police authorities and justice system proceed to the investigation,” the statement said.

    Its 3D animation software was used in the production of major film hits including Jurassic Park, The Matrix, Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace and Titanic.

    Three years after that sale, Mr Langlois shared an Academy Award in the scientific and technical category for Softimage animation components.

    In a post on X, formerly Twitter, Canadian Heritage Minister Pascale St-Onge called Mr Langlois “a visionary in digital technologies and cinema”.
