Teen Suicide Pact Leaves Town in Shock

UK - The parents of a girl who tried to hang herself do not believe her attempt is linked to the suicides of seven other teenagers in the same town.

A task force is being set up in Bridgend to investigate whether the deaths are related, amid rumours of an internet suicide pact.

Tina Phillips says she does not know why her daughter Leah tried to kill herself.

Leah could not remember anything about her suicide attempt last Friday, she told Sky News.

“When she first woke up and we told her why she was in intensive care, (she said) ‘It wasn’t me, I didn’t do it,’” Mrs Phillips said. “That’s all she remembers.” more
