CNN — Steve Mensch, the president and general manager of studio operations at [Tyler Perry](https://www.cnn.com/videos/entertainment/2022/09/26/tyler-perry-madea-wallace-intv-wtcw-vpx.cnn) Studios, died in a plane crash Friday night, according to officials. The Florida Highway Patrol said troopers found Mensch dead at the scene of a crash just after 8 p.m. in Citrus County, Florida. The agency does not name Mensch as the man who died, though the Citrus County Sheriff’s Office said it was Mensch, 62, from Fayetteville, Georgia. Later confirmed by the studio.
