Taneli Kaleva Kekkonen (4 September 1928 – 11 July 1985) was a Finnish diplomat and the son of Urho Kekkonen, who served as the President of Finland from 1956 to 1982, and author Sylvi Kekkonen.
In 1952, Kekkonen married Brita Fagerholm, the daughter of K.A. Fagerholm, who served as the Prime Minister of Finland from 1948 to 1950 and from 1956 to 1957. They had two children, Timo (born 1957) and Tea (born 1963).
Deathedit
In the early 1980s, Kekkonen was caught drunk driving, which resulted in the Finnish Foreign Ministry calling him back from Tel Aviv. Following the incident, Kekkonen became deeply depressed and told his wife Brita that he was going to commit suicide. She asked him to wait for at least a year. During that time, Kekkonen sat in his office at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs during office hours, but no assignments were given to him.
On July 11, 1985, Kekkonen was found dead in his home after committing suicide by hanging.[1]
