Wife found politician hanged after seeing note

-

Labour politician Carl Sargeant was found hanged in a room at his home that he had left a note telling his wife not to go in, his inquest was told.

The 49-year-old Welsh Assembly Member was found dead last Tuesday by Bernadette, his wife, four days after being removed from his Cabinet role after allegation­s of sexual harassment were made against him.

Carwyn Jones, the Welsh First Minister, has called for an independen­t inquiry to examine his own handling of the case. John Gittins, the senior coroner, said he was not able to set a date for the inquest to resume, as the inquiry’s findings may have a bearing on the inquest.
