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.
