YouTube's former CEO is dead

YouTube's former CEO Susan Wojcicki has passed away. She was 56 years old, reports American media.

She was diagnosed with lung cancer two years ago, writes her husband Dennis Troper in a statement on Facebook.

Wojcicki, who had a key role in the formation of Google, was CEO of YouTube for nine years before leaving the post last year.

"Today, after almost 25 years at the company, I have decided to take a step back from my role as CEO of YouTube and start a new chapter where I focus on my family, health, and personal projects that I am passionate about", she said then in a statement.
