Edmund Stephen Roper Piesse (5 January 1900 – 25 August 1952) was an Australian politician who represented Western Australia in the Senate from 1950 until his death. He was a member of the Country Party.
Piesse was born in Katanning, Western Australia, the son of Margaret Mary née Chipper and Arnold Piesse (a state MP).[1][2] Three of his uncles, Frederick,[3] Charles,[4] and Alfred,[5] and a first cousin, Harold,[6] were also members of parliament in Western Australia.
Piesse attended Guildford Grammar School in Perth, before returning to Katanning as a farmer and grazier. He was also a company director. In 1949 he was elected to the Senate. He held the seat until his death by his own hand in 1952.[1] He gassed himself in his car, at a rifle range near his home of Katanning.[7] His father also died by suicide.[8] Bill Robinson was appointed to replace him.[9]
