Quote Abba Drummer Found Dead in His Garden March 17, 2008, 8:13 AM EST A former drummer for the Swedish pop band ABBA was found dead with cuts to his neck in the garden of his house on the Spanish island of Mallorca. Police said Monday an autopsy showed it was an accident. A neighbor found the body of 62-year-old Ola Brunkert on Sunday evening at his house in a coastal area outside the eastern town of Arta, a Civil Guard spokesman told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity. He said an autopsy was carried out and confirmed initial investigations. "It was an accident," he said. The spokesman said Brunkert hit his head against a glass door in his dining room, shattering the glass and cutting himself in the neck. He managed to wrap a towel around his neck and left the house to seek help, but collapsed in the garden. Brunkert lived in the coastal apartment complex of Betlem in the municipality of Arta, in the eastern part of Mallorca. Brunkert had lived in Arta for around 20 years. His wife, Inger. died less than a year ago, an Arta municipal official told the AP. She spoke on condition of anonymity because she was not authorized to discuss the case. ABBA band member Benny Anderson told Swedish daily Expressen he was sad to hear of the drummer's death. "It is tragic," he said.

In the Misfits though. You gotta be specific, two totally different sounds -- aside from his distinctive voice. Which sounds surprisingly like my boss's ex-husband Fernando. |
