SUICIDE BY INTERNET KIT

A MAN killed himself using a suicide kit assembled from instructions on the internet, an inquest heard yesterday. Glen Hughes, 40, used a website to make the device from a plastic bag, elastic bands and a £20 canister of helium gas. He then bought a video that showed how to use it. Jobless Glen was found dead at home in Bridgend. A suicide note said he could not go on after his mum's death and splitting with his girlfriend. His brother Tyrone said: "If it wasn't for the internet then my brother would still be alive."
