McDonald's CEO quits to battle COLORECTAL cancer
Bell, 44, underwent surgery for bowel cancer two weeks after being named for the joint role of president and chief executive on April 19.
He had been diagnosed with the disease shortly after taking over from Jim Cantalupo, who died suddenly of a heart attack in April. Andrew McKenna, McDonald's chairman, said yesterday Mr Bell had decided to step down with immediate effect "to devote all of his time and energy to his courageous battle against cancer".
