Woman Found Hanged Is 24th Young Suicide Victim In Bridgend in Two Years

Lisa Dalton, a 25-year-old mother-of-one, had been battling against anorexia since she was a teenager.
She was discovered in her two-bedroomed semi-detached home - just weeks after being released from hospital.
Friends said Lisa's little girl Gracie was being cared for by her grandmother while she was being treated for anorexia.
A neighbour said: "She was a loving mother and wherever she went she had little Gracie with her. She was lovely and would always say hello but she had ongoing problems because of her weight.
"In the last couple of months people had remarked how much better she looked as she put on a bit of weight. But since the summer she had been in and out of hospital for treatment. What has happened is awful - she was so young and had a beautiful little girl."
Police confirmed Lisa had been found hanged inside the property. Gracie was not there at the time.
Another 23 young people aged 15 to 27 have been found hanged in the borough of Bridgend since the start of 2007.
But South Wales police say there is no link between the deaths.
A spokesman said: "We were called to a report of a sudden death of a 25 year old woman in Bridgend. The death is not being treated as suspicious. A file is being compiled on behalf of the coroner.
"There are clearly similarities between recent sudden deaths in Bridgend but we can confirm our investigations have by no means uncovered any criminal evidence that links them."
