The Royal Symphony Orchestra of Seville reports the death of its American former principal flute, James Gordon Lyman Lake. James was 64.
Local media add that he was found dead inside his car, which was in a ravine on the road from El Castillo de las Guardas to the village where he lived. He was reported missing five days ago and appears to have died on that day.
James, originally from Albion, New York, lived alone and was reported to be on medication for a number of conditions.
The orchestra says he had not played for them in several years but remained in touch with former colleagues.
