Cooper, a physician, was 64. He had been chairman and chief executive of the Kalamazoo, Mich.-based firm since 1987. Upjohn’s board of directors said Ley S. Smith, president and chief operating officer, will continue as acting chief executive while the board conducts a search for a permanent successor.
