Idaho lawmaker takes his own life amid sex abuse claims
Lawmakers already shocked by the criminal investigation into former Rep. Brandon Hixon found themselves stunned anew Tuesday by news of the Caldwell Republican?s death.
?We are all asking ourselves what we could have done to help in the lead-up to this,? House Speaker Scott Bedke said. ?I am at a loss.?
Hixon, 36, died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head, according to the Canyon County Coroner?s Office. A family member found him in his home early Tuesday, the Associated Press reports.
He resigned from the Legislature in October after news broke that he was the focus of a criminal investigation by Caldwell police. That inquiry is apparently related to sexual abuse, according to a later request by Canyon County officials for the Idaho Attorney General?s Office to take over the investigation.
