"Time Warner Chief Gerald M. Levin Dies at 84"
Gerald M. Levin, the former CEO of Time Warner, has passed away at the age of 84. He was known for orchestrating the ill-fated merger between Time Warner and America Online, which is widely regarded as one of the worst corporate marriages in American history.

Levin had been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease and is survived by his family.
