The family of a young plumber who took his own life just one month after getting engaged have spoken out about his tragic death in a bid to encourage struggling young men to seek help.
Luke Hausler, 24, from South Australia, committed suicide on January 10, leaving his loved ones in complete shock.
His brother Zak said that while Ms Hausler had battled mental health issues when he was younger, he did a ‘180 flip’ after meeting his fiancee Zoe.

‘He was a young man who very much struggled through life, and then he met Zoe and she just changed his life,’ Zak told 7News.
Mr Haulser and Zoe were renovating their Adelaide home and taking care of their 19-month-old daughter Lahia in the lead up to his death, which Zak said he didn’t see coming.
‘You would never think that this would happen with Luke at all, he was just the happiest and most bubbly person you would ever meet and very warm,’ Zak said.
‘We want to reiterate that anyone who suffers with their mental health should speak up, especially young men.’

About 75 per cent of Australians who die by suicide are males.
Zak urged anyone struggling with their own mental health issues to let their guard down and open up about what they’re going through.
He described his younger brother as a ‘rock for people’ and said he will remember him as an ‘Aussie larrikin’ who was ‘selfless’ and ‘courageous’.
