The 71-year-old businessman slipped and fell from a 150-meter cliff while hiking with his family near the Montserrat caves close to Barcelona, according to Spanish newspaper La Vanguardia.

Mango CEO Toni Ruiz paid tribute to Andic, stating, "His departure leaves a huge void, but we are all, in some way, his legacy and the testimony of his achievements. It is up to us to ensure that Mango continues to be the project that Isak was ambitious and proud of."
