Suicide Teens
A coroner yesterday launched an investigation into the link between the internet and young suicides - as an MP hit out at websites for "romanticising" teenage death.
THE VICTIMS
They appeared to be linked by little more than their home town and a network of friends.
But within little more than a year, the six young men and one young woman, had all killed themselves.
1.
DALE CROLE, 18, from Porthcawl, near Bridgend.
He went missing four months before his body was found.
He had only recently moved in with his father after being released from a young offenders' institution, but the pair were said to have a volatile relationship.
Dale was unemployed, smoked cannabis and drank heavily.
He was last seen by his family on September 25, 2006.
His badly decomposed body was found on January 5, 2007, after he hanged himself in a disused warehouse at a local beach funfair.
2.
DAVID DILLING, 19, from Pyle, a village near Bridgend.
David was the best friend of Dale Crole.
Known to friends as Dai, he told the inquest into his friend's death that the pair regularly spent time together at the warehouse where Dale's body was found.
The teenager was said to be very upset by his friend's death.
He hanged himself near his home in the village, in February, 2007.
3.
THOMAS DAVIES, 20 from North Cornelly, Bridgend.
He was a school friend of the first two victims, but was particularly shocked by David Dilling's death.
Thomas had already bought a suit for David's funeral, but hanged himself from a tree on February 25 – just two days before the service.
His mother Melanie,38, said he spent three hours a night on the Bebo website talking to friends and described his death as a copycat suicide, a "craze".
4.
ZACHARY BARNES, 17, of Wildmill, Bridgend.
Was a friend of Thomas Davies' family.
He left school to spend ten months working with animals at The Amelia Trust Farm, near Barry, and intended to become a fitness instructor.
His parents Paul, 49, and Mandy, 38, have described the teenager as "fantastic, so loving and caring" and a "big personality".
His body was found in August, 2007, hanged from a washing line at a block of flats.
5.
LIAM CLARKE, 20, from Bridgend, was a close friend of Dale Crole.
He worked as a sales assistant, and enjoyed playing football and pool.
On his blog, the tattooed teenager posted a number of pictures of himself in combat gear and holding an air rifle, describing himself as "interested in having fun and gettin rect".
He hanged himself in a park on December 27, 2007.
6.
GARETH MORGAN, 27, from Bridgend, was a friend of Liam Clarke and a father of one.
Described as a "gentle giant", the keen production operative was found dead on January 5, by his brother Christopher, 26 and stepbrother Thomas, 14, in his bedroom at the family home.
His mother Lynda, 48, said he showed no signs of depression before his death and had been drinking with friends the night before.
Gareth's daughter Maison, eight, lives with his former partner.
7.
NATASHA RANDALL, 17, was also friends with Liam Clarke.
She lived with her father, Kelvin and stepmother Katrina in Blaengarw, Bridgend. She studied Care and Childhood Studies at Bridgend College. Known as Tasha. Natasha spent hours on her Bebo webpage using the name "sxiwildchild".
Last Thursday, she hanged herself in her bedroom while her parents were downstairs.
Darn, hot chicks who kill themselfs is a wood killer!
