Ex-real estate tycoon dies at 59 during trial

TOKYO, Japan - Harunori Takahashi (in a file photo taken in October 1999), once dubbed the king of resort development projects in the South Pacific, died of a brain hemorrhage at a Tokyo hospital on July 18 while facing trial over a loan scandal involving two now-defunct credit associations, his family said July 19. He was 59. Takahashi purchased overseas hotels and domestic golf courses during Japan's ''bubble'' economy boom when he was president of resort developer EIE International Corp., leading the EIE group to total assets of around 1 trillion yen at its peak.
