TikTok Star Cooper Noriega Dead at 19 Years Old

TikTok star Cooper Noriega has died. Noriega was found dead in a mall parking lot near Los Angeles on June 9. His death comes just hours after he posted a video to his 1.7 million TikTok followers with an ominous message about thinking about dying young. Cooper told fans he had been “struggling with addiction since” he “was 9 years old.” The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner has not released a cause of death, which is “pending further investigation."

When someone dies due to mental health issues, people pity them, wishing there was a way to stop them
But when someone alive suffers from mental health tries seeking for help, people would think they’re seeking for attention instead.
Rest in peace, Cooper 🕊

it sucks how everyone who really cares abt mental health and strive to do better for others end up being the ones who needed help all along

My guy was 19 and an advocate for mental health, took me until my mid 20s to understand what was going on in my head. Wise beyond his years, gone too soon. Rest Easy Brother

People say people like this just “want attention” but after they die the same people go on to say “we need to do more! how could we have stopped this, etc.” Don’t judge others, listen and be supportive.

As someone who struggled with addiction for 15 years, my heart breaks for this young man . There is light at the end of the tunnel if you can find the help you need !

I don't use tiktok that much, I don't know this man, but I send my condolences to the family and those who grieve his death. Just by this video, I can tell he had a warm heart and cared for others. So sad to see him go.

This is really sad. He seemed like such a nice guy with so much potential.

I honestly felt this one harder than I expected and I don’t normally feel it. The kid had a good heart. He always supported people

[NellIman]

So sad and young, he had his whole life ahead of him. Devastating that people can get so lost that death seems like the only way they can be free. Rip 💔

This breaks my heart. I have been an addict since a young age, I overdosed on fentanyl at age 19 and was told my my family that I died briefly. I have had an ex die from an overdose and I’ve had countless friends from rehab and AA die. It truly hurts my heart to see another young soul pass away. Rest In Peace

I don't really keep up with tik tokers but seeing that Cooper Noriega passed away is shocking. I literally saw a clip of him a week ago opening up about his mental health struggles and addiction, opening up about his journey to get better. This really hit me cause I suddenly remembered that clip. Sending my condolences to his family, friends and loved ones!!

19, he was young, and he had lot to experience ahead in his life. Condolences to his family

[lysscoolyou]
