An Oklahoma teen committed suicide by jumping off a wind turbine.

Liam Cobb, 19, died by suicide after jumping off a wind turbine earlier in April.

Before his tragic death, Cobb was a wind technician who had access to wind turbines.

The mother of Liam Cobb, Cristy Cobb shared, “I don’t know that we did everything right, I’m certain that we did not. But I also don’t believe in giving up.”

Cristy Cobb also revealed that her son suffered from depression and suicidal ideations.

Here’s what The Cowboy State Daily reported:

Cristy Cobb said her son Liam Cobb dealt with mental health issues long before he died by suicide at the age of 19, jumping from a wind turbine earlier this month. She hopes that her son’s life can serve as inspiration that it’s possible for life to get better even when people feel they’re in a dark place.

“I don’t know that we did everything right, I’m certain that we did not. But I also don’t believe in giving up,” said Cristy, who lives in Douglas. “I believe that we should still keep trying to help each other because I have to believe that Liam’s story is much bigger than Liam’s life and his death.”

Cobb also wants her son’s death to serve as a reminder for people to reach out to those they know who have mental struggles and let them know they matter. She and her husband made an active effort to call their son multiple times a week, describing him as an introvert who had a tendency to self-isolate.

Cristy has had her own issues with depression and suicidal ideations but has learned the value of reaching out to friends, family and health professionals, something she recommends to everyone with the same problems.
“Being alive hurts, but for me it doesn’t mean it’s a good enough reason to not do it,” she said.

She now finds inspiration in a note Liam sent her during the COVID-19 pandemic, encouraging her to get up because life won’t get better on its own.

“That’s just the way he was- you have to keep moving, you have to get better,” she said.
