Canadian entrepreneur Daniel Langlois and his partner Dominique Marchand have been found dead under suspicious circumstances in the Caribbean island nation of Dominica. Their bodies were discovered in a burnt-out vehicle on Friday after they had been missing for several days from an eco-resort they owned on the island. Langlois, who founded animation software firm Softimage, had a successful career in the film industry, with his products being used in major blockbuster films. Three foreign nationals and one Dominican have been taken into custody in relation to the incident. The exact details of their deaths are not yet known, and the investigation is ongoing.
