A teenage bride-to-be has become the latest victim in a town beset by a raft of suicides among young people.

Angie Fuller, 18, was found by her boyfriend hanged at their home in Bridgend, South Wales, early on Monday morning.

She appears to be the 14th young person to have killed themselves in the past year, although police are playing down links with other victims.

Her fiancé, Joel Williams, 21, paid an online tribute to her at the social networking site Myspace.com, describing her as his "poor lost Angie".

Miss Fuller's death appears the latest in a string of copycat suicides in the town and immediate area. The deaths have fuelled concerns about young people's use of social networking sites - many of the victims had sites on Bebo.

Miss Fuller, who worked at a Jaeger designer outlet, used the websites.

On her Facebook profile page, she says: "I don't like myself, but hey who does? I'm an angry drunk."
