Two young cousins from Bridgend have been found hanged within hours of each other, it has been confirmed.
Nathaniel Pritchard, 15, died in hospital after "harming himself".

Kelly Stephenson, 20, who had been told her cousin was in a serious condition, was found hanged while on holiday in Kent. Police said it was too early to say how the deaths were linked.

It brings the number of apparent suicides among young people in the Bridgend area to 16 in the past year.

Officers were called to Nathaniel's home in the Cefn Glas area of Bridgend on Wednesday night and the force said he died in hospital after "harming himself".

His death is not believed to be suspicious "or linked to any other incidents or sudden deaths in the area," said a South Wales Police spokesman.

Each new death needs to be investigated individually

Ms Stephenson and Nathaniel were said to be "very close" by friends.

Relatives confirmed that she had been told about Nathaniel and that there was little hope he would pull through.

Ms Stephenson, who was on holiday in Folkestone, told a relative she was going to the bathroom but when she did not come downstairs they went to investigate and found her dead.

'Brilliant kids'

A spokeswoman for Kent Police said: "We can confirm that a 20-year-old woman was found dead at an address in Folkestone.

"Officers are making inquiries but there are not believed to be any suspicious circumstances. An inquest will be opened next week."

Police are investigating the deaths but say it is too early to say how they are linked.

It is thought both youngsters were members of the Bebo and Facebook internet social networking sites.

Relatives confirmed Ms Stephenson knew two previous young people from the Bridgend area who hanged themselves last year.

A relative of both youngsters said: "Kelly was friends with both boys but whether this had anything to do with what has happened we just don't know.

"Kelly and Nathaniel were both brilliant kids with good futures ahead of them."

Ms Stephenson was a keen footballer and had recently signed for local team Porthcawl Lightning Strikers.

Manager Tony Morgan said: "She had only played one game for us - I couldn't pick her for this weekend because she was going away on holiday. It is a shock...Everyone at the club will be shocked."

Bridgend AM Carwyn Jones said: "It's important to understand that there is no link between the recent suicides in Bridgend, and each new death needs to be investigated individually.

"Obviously, I pass my sympathy to the families of Nathaniel Pritchard and Kelly Stephenson on their double loss."

South Wales Police are reviewing suicides among young people in the Bridgend area over the last year.

A taskforce is also examining suicides in the county since 2004.

Cefndryd 'wedi eu crogi'

Bu farw'r ddau gefnder o fewn oriau i'w gilydd
Daeth cadarnhad bod cefnder a chyfnither ifanc o Ben-y-Bont ar Ogwr wedi cael eu canfod wedi eu crogi o fewn oriau i'w gilydd.

Bu farw Nathaniel Pritchard, 15 oed, yn yr ysbyty.

Cafodd Kelly Stephenson, 20 oed, oedd wedi cael gwybod bod ei chefnder mewn cyflwr difrifol, ei chanfod wedi crogi oriau'n ddiweddarach ar wyliau yng Nghaint.

Mae'r heddlu wedi dweud nad oes cysylltiad rhwng y marwolaethau.

Mae o leiaf 14 person ifanc arall wedi marw o hunanladdiadau posib yn ardal Pen-y-Bont ar Ogwr dros y flwyddyn ddiwethaf.

Cafodd yr heddlu eu galw i gartref Nathaniel yn ardal Cefn Glas nos Iau.

Dydi ei farwolaeth ddim yn cael ei thrin fel achos amheus a dywedodd llefarydd ar ran yr heddlu nad "oes 'na gysylltiad gydag unrhyw achos arall na marwolaeth sydyn yn yr ardal".

Roedd y ddau gefnder yn "agos iawn", yn ôl ffrindiau.

Ymholiadau

Fe wnaeth aelodau o'r teulu gadarnhau bod Ms Stephenson wedi cael gwybod am Nathaniel ac mai prin iawn oedd y gobaith y byddai'n goroesi.

Roedd hi ar wyliau yn Folkstone ac fe ddywedodd wrth berthynas ei bod yn mynd i'r ystafell ymolchi.

Ar ôl iddi fethu dychwelyd fe gafwyd hyd iddi wedi marw.

Dywedodd llefarydd ar ran Heddlu Caint eu bod yn gallu cadarnhau bod dynes 20 oed wedi cael ei chanfod wedi marw yn Folkstone.

"Mae swyddogion yn gwneud ymholiadau ond does 'na ddim lle i gredu bod 'na unrhyw amgylchiadau amheus," meddai.

"Fe fydd cwest yn agor yr wythnos nesaf.

Rhaid i bob marwolaeth newydd gael ei hymchwilio'n unigol

Carwyn Jones, AC Pen-y-Bont ar Ogwr

Mae'r heddlu yn ymchwilio i'r marwolaethau ond yn dweud ei bod yn rhy gynnar i ddweud a oes 'na gysylltiad.

Y gred ydi bod y ddau yn defnyddio safleoedd gwe rhyngweithio cymdeithasol Bebo a Facebook.

Fe wnaeth perthnasau gadarnhau bod Ms Stephenson yn adnabod dau o bobl ifanc o ardal Pen-y-Bont sydd wedi crogi eu hun yn ystod y flwyddyn ddiwethaf.

"Roedd Kelly yn ffrindiau gyda'r ddau fachgen a wyddon ni ddim a oes 'na gysylltiad gyda hynny," meddai perthynas iddi hi a Nathaniel.

"Roedd Kelly a Nathaniel yn blant gwych a dyfodol disglair o'u blaen."

Roedd Ms Stephenson yn bêl-droedwraig a newydd arwyddo ar gyfer y tîm lleol ym Mhorthcawl.

Adolygiad

"Un gêm wnaeth hi chwarae....mae hyn yn sioc....fe fydd pawb yn y clwb mewn sioc," meddai'r rheolwr Tony Morgan.

"Mae'n bwysig deall nad oes 'na gysylltiad rhwng yr achosion diweddara o hunanladdiadau ym Mhen-y-bont ar Ogwr," meddai Carwyn Jones, AC Pen-y-Bont ar Ogwr.

"Rhaid i bob marwolaeth newydd gael ei hymchwilio'n unigol.

"Yn sicr dwi'n cydymdeimlo gyda theulu Nathaniel Pritchard a Kelly Stephenson ar eu colled.

Mae Heddlu De Cymru yn adolygu achosion o hunanladdiadau ymhlith yr ifanc yn ardal Pen-y-Bont dros y flwyddyn ddiwethaf.

Mae tasglu hefyd yn ymchwilio i hunanladdiadau yn y sir ers 2004.
