Former
Welsh government minister Carl Sargeant has been found dead days after being
sacked amid “shocking and distressing” allegations about his personal conduct,
a family spokesman said.
Carl
Sargeant, 49, lost his job as cabinet secretary for communities and children
last Friday.
He
was suspended from Labour after the first minister learned of a number of
alleged incidents involving women.
Sargeant,
a married father-of-two, is understood to have killed himself. North Wales
police said on Tuesday that the death was not being treated as suspicious.
A
family statement said they are "devastated beyond words" at the loss
of "the glue that bound us together".
Labour
leader Jeremy Corbyn said the death was "deeply shocking news".
