THE chairman of gloves and condoms maker Ansell, Ed Tweddell, has died, aged 64.

Dr Tweddell's family announced his death today. The family said in a statement that while circumstances were unclear, it appeared that Dr Tweddell took his own life late yesterday, after some health-related issues.

"This is so unexpected, and extremely sad and upsetting for all of us," Dr Tweddell's wife, Sue Tweddell, said.

"Ed was a wonderful husband and father and we believe he had so much to live for.

"His decision has been heart-breaking for us and we are still coming to terms with his death."

Dr Tweddell is survived by his wife Sue, his son James and daughter Kate.
