Former Disney executive Dave Hollis has died aged just 47.
Hollis, who served as the company's president of worldwide distribution until he decided to step down in 2018, died at home in Austin, Texas on Saturday.
His death comes weeks after he had been hospitalized for heart-related health issues. The specific cause of death has not yet been revealed.
During his time at the helm of Disney's distribution operations, Hollis rolled out many of Disney's most profitable box office hits, including Marvel Studios' 'The Avengers', Lucasfilm's 'Star Wars - The Force Awakens' and Pixar's animated children's flick 'Frozen'.
In a statement released upon his resignation from Disney in 2018, Hollis said: 'I can't count the number of ''pinch-me'' moments I've had in my time at Disney.
'In a world where so few opportunities could compare, the chance to support my wife and help grow her company was something I couldn't pass up.'
The year prior to Hollis' departure, Disney was the top studio in terms of its domestic market share, scooping 22 per cent of ticket sales and dominating rivals despite having released fewer films.
