Michelle Sheldon ( - 2008)

Michelle Sheldon

23 year old Michelle Sheldon was another tragic suicide which occurred in the Bridgend area. Whilst Michelle was actually from Pant Glas, Cardiff, she was found hanging at her boyfriend’s home in Heol Frenhines, Bridgend. Michelle was found hanging from a drainpipe by a noose in her boyfriend's back garden following a row. This tragic incident happened at the Cefn Glas estate on April-6 2008, however she actually died in hospital on April 9th after three days on a life support machine. ................................. The series of suicides in Bridgend County, South Wales :- Whilst I did not know any of the victims personally, I just wanted to say something after reading of this string of tragedies in the newspaper – so have created one of these “My-Condolence.com” pages for several of them (incidentally, I thought the media covered this was quite disgraceful – sensationalising with talk of the suicide town and internet death cults etc ). It is probable that media coverage can trigger copycat deaths, so for example in Norway newspapers are banned from reporting suicide as a cause of death. The police have always maintained that the deaths are not linked. In addition to all of the tragic deaths which have been reported, there had also been an alarming number of friends of some victims have also attempted unsuccessfully to kill themselves. I just hope any other young people will talk to someone like the Samaritans when they feel rock bottom, virtually all adults did go through the same stresses and strains as youngsters so can really help. England and Scotland already have suicide prevention plans, drastic actions are being placed by Bridgend County in the local schools and so forth, but of course that is too late now for all these young people and the families they leave behind. …….
