UK politician Carl Sargeant has been found dead just days after resigning over misconduct allegations as part of a wider harassment scandal embroiling parliament, his family said today.

The Press Association news agency said Sargeant was understood to have committed suicide.

The former Welsh government minister resigned on November 3 and was suspended from the Labour party after he was informed of allegations about his personal conduct.
