Brutal death of noted French bassoonist, 57

Brutal death of noted French bassoonist, 57

The Orchestre Philharmonique de Monte-Carlo has issued this statement:

It is with great sadness that we learned of the brutal death of Franck Lavogez, solo bassist of the Monte-Carlo Philharmonic Orchestra, which occurred on August 26.
Member of the orchestra for nearly 30 years, initiator of many projects and strongly involved in the life of the OPMC, as well as in associative life, his sudden death caused a great shock and immense pain to those who were with him, in the professional context or private.
The Board of Directors, management, members of the administrative team and all the musicians of the Monte-Carlo Philharmonic Orchestra extend their sincere condolences to his family and loved ones and join their sorrow at this painful time.

We have no further information at this moment. The funeral took place yesterday.
