Total to convene board meeting as soon as possible

PARIS (Reuters) - Total will convene a meeting of its board "as soon as possible" following the death of its chief executive Christophe de Margerie when a business jet collided with a snow plough during takeoff at Moscow's Vnukovo International Airport, a group spokeswoman told Reuters.

The spokeswoman, who said Total held a crisis meeting overnight, would not discuss the board's agenda.
