Mensch, 62, was killed when the single-engine plane he was piloting crashed in Homosassa, Florida.
Steve Mensch, the president and general manager of Tyler Perry Studios, was killed Friday night after the single-engine plane he was piloting crashed in Florida.
Mensch, 62, was the only occupant in the plane when it crashed around 8 p.m. in Homosassa, according to the Citrus County Sheriff’s Office. His death was confirmed in a statement by Tyler Perry Studios on Saturday.
“We are incredibly saddened by the passing of our dear friend, Steve Mensch,” the studio said in a statement. “Steve was a cherished member of our team for more than 8 years, and well beloved in the community of Atlanta.”
Mensch joined the media and TV production company in 2016, where he helped oversee the studio’s transition to Atlanta’s Fort McPherson army base. The base was converted to a 330-acre production lot, making it one of the largest in the country, according to the studio’s website.
