A former session drummer with Swedish pop band Abba has been found dead in the garden of his Spanish home with cuts to his throat, police say.
A spokeswoman said the man was 62-year-old Ola Brunkert, and said his death appeared to be accidental.
Police believe Brunkert hit his head on a window and shattered the glass which cut him. A post-mortem is taking place.
According to Abba's official website, Brunkert and bass player Rutger Gunnarsson were the only musicians to appear on all the group's albums.
Brunket, who retired to Majorca, first played with Abba on the group's first single, People Need Love, and went on to tour with them in 1977, 1979 and 1980.
