A heartbroken mother whose son texted 'love you brother' to his friend before taking his life has shared a powerful message following the conclusion of his inquest.
Jakub Halani, 19, suffered multiple traumatic injuries after he jumped in front of a train at Eccles station in February. At an inquest at Bolton Coroners Court on Monday (July 3), coroner Stephen Teasdale ruled Jakub's death as a suicide after hearing he ordered a Bolt to the station, where CCTV footage showed Jakub's act appeared 'deliberate'.
Mum Kataryzna Halani paid tribute to her 'amazing' and 'talented' late son, telling the inquest he had 'great friends' and a 'very successful' career in music production. She is now hoping to encourage other young men to open up and share their feelings with loved ones.

"He was a very private person, but also sometimes he would come and sit on the sofa and talk to me for two hours," Katarzyna said.
"He was very successful, and he had a great group of friends. He was very close to his sister."
The inquest heard how Jakub had adopted a nocturnal sleeping pattern, working on his music under the name 'Prod by Jak' during the night and sleeping in the day. However, friend Jacob Bailey told the court this was 'normal' for Jakub, and he never expressed any concerns about low mood or suicidal ideation.
On the day of Jakub's death (February 2), the court heard how mum Kataryzna had spoken to him at around 5pm, when he told her he had been 'up all night making beats'. The court heard how he was picked up by a Bolt taxi on his road at 22:39 and arrived at Eccles station at 22:37.
At 22:40, Mr Bailey received a snapchat from Jakub
