Angus's brother Phillip released the following statement last night on behalf of the Hawley family.

There are conflicting reports as to the circumstances surrounding Hawley's death. Some outlets are reporting he went into cardiac arrest after returning from a swim, while others are reporting that he was having dinner when he went into cardiac arrest and died in the ambulance on the way to the hospital.
Kidman and Hawley, who divorced in 2007, have four children together: Lucia, Hamish, James and Sybella.
After their divorce, Hawley went on to marry Prue Fisher in 2011.
The tragedy comes just seven months after the Kidman family farewelled their father, Dr. Antony Kidman. In a double blow, Antony also died of a suspected heart attack while visiting daughter Antonia in Singapore.
