JPMorgan board member James Crown dies in car crash

Longtime JPMorgan Chase & Co. director James Crown died Sunday in a car accident. Chairman and CEO Jamie Dimon said Crown's "heart and his wisdom will be profoundly missed."

Longtime JPMorgan director James "Jim" Crown was killed in a car crash in Colorado on Sunday, the bank reported in a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filing.

JPMorgan chairman and CEO Jamie Dimon wrote in a letter to colleagues that Crown's unexpected passing had left "us all in shock and mourning," calling Crown a friend.

Dimon said Crown, 70, was a member of JPMorgan's board since 2004, and prior to that served as a director at Bank One Corporation since 1991.

Crown was also chairman of the Aspen Institute and previously served on the board of General Dynamics.
