LITTLE ROCK, Ark.

Former Tyson Foods Inc. chief executive Donald J. Tyson, who led the poultry company to dominance in the industry, has died. He was 80.

The company said Tyson died Thursday morning. The Stephens Media Group first reported that Tyson died of cancer.

Springdale-based Tyson Foods Inc. was founded by Don Tyson's father, John Tyson, in the early 1930s. In 1952, Don Tyson joined the business and in 1966 became its president. He remained with the company until 2001, when he retired as senior chairman.
