The parents of Bronwen Morgan, a 26-year-old student nurse who took her own life, are calling for the shutdown of suicide websites in an effort to prevent further deaths.

Bronwen Morgan died in August 2020, and her parents believe she was "encouraged" and "guided" by a suicide website, which has since been blocked.

The UK broadband providers have blocked one such site after a BBC investigation linked it to 50 deaths. Bronwen's parents, Jayne and Haydn, are campaigning for more sites to be shut down and are also working to improve mental health support for young people through their charity, Bronwen's Wish.

South Wales Central coroner Graeme Hughes has submitted a prevention of future deaths report to the UK and Welsh governments, warning that more people may die after using forums discussing suicide methods.
