LANCASTER TRADE CENTER, NEWCASTLE - Following rampant rumors of ill health after his recently publicized trip to Planet Gran Canaria (formerly known as Planet Sydney), officials from Borderworld Exports have confirmed that Sir William Burke, long-time Director of Operations for Bowex, has died.

Though the Medical Examiner's report is still pending, it is believed that Burke's death was due to complications arising from poor health, and the stress of his recent trip to Gran Canaria. Foul play is not suspected.
Who will be chosen to succeed Burke as Director of Operations is not known at this time. We will follow this story as it continues to develop.
