The wife of an Arizona politician Wil Cardon says he committed suicide. He was 46.
Cardon of Mesa, Arizona committed suicide according to a statement from his wife, Nicole Cardon. He is survived by the couple’s five children.
The Republican businessman unsuccessfully ran against now Senator Jeff Flake in the primary in 2012. Cardon also lost a bid for Arizona Secretary of State in 2014.
Flake in a Twitter tribute called Cardon a friend who called to check on him after a Washington baseball game shooting left a congressman wounded. Cardon’s family said the man with a smile “as wide as Arizona” suffered from depression, a disease that he battled with “openness and honesty.” source
