On May 10 in Cozad, Nebraska, a family of four was found dead on what should have been their eldest son’s graduation day.
Police say Jeremy Koch, 42, took the lives of his wife, Bailey, 41, and their sons, Hudson, 18, and Asher, 16, before ending his own. Jeremy had long battled severe mental illness, and Bailey had recently voiced concern as his condition worsened.
The loss has devastated the community and highlighted the urgent need for better mental health support.
