NEW YORK (Reuters) -JPMorgan Chase & Co and General Dynamics Corp board member Jim Crown died on Sunday in a vehicle accident in Colorado, a county coroner said.
Crown, 70, was the chairman and chief executive officer of Henry Crown and Co., a privately owned company that invests in public and private securities, real estate and operating companies.
He was on JPMorgan’s public responsibility and risk committees.
Crown was involved in a single vehicle accident at the Aspen Motorsports Park in Woody Creek, Colorado, the Pitkin County Coroner’s office said in a statement.
Bank CEO Jamie Dimon said in a memo to directors seen by Reuters that Crown was an “integral part” of JPMorgan Chase.
Crown was also the chairman of The Aspen Institute and trustee of the Museum of Science and Industry and the University of Chicago.
