Death of rail CEO Harrison renews health disclosure debate

Just days after his sudden death, questions have surfaced over the extent of Hunter Harrison’s health problems and how much CSX knew. The Star reports that before CSX hired him, Mr Harrison declined a request for an independent doctor to review his medical records. And with the dramatic drop in CSX shares following his death – some $4bn were wiped off the company’s value – reports ask how much listed companies should disclose on the health of their leaders, particularly when those leaders inspire such investor confidence.
