IAN BORN AT BLACKPOOL VICTORIA HOSPITAL, (ironically the same hospital that deprived Ian of life)... IAN JAMES FOSTER ON 10TH NOVEMBER 1977... HE WENT TO HEAVEN ON 8TH SEPTEMBER 2006

My so loved and adored, loving, kind and beautiful son Ian on the 6th September 2006 went to Blackpool Promenade with a can of petrol and poured it over himself. Then set himself alight. On the 8th September 2006 he died as a result of his injuries.

Fireball man in critical condition
By Citizen reporter
A man is in a critical condition after he set himself on fire on Blackpool's North Pier yesterday at about 2pm.

Hundreds of onlookers saw the man, believed to be in his twenties and from Lytham, jump into the water before being pulled to shore by officers from Blackpool's beach patrol.

He was taken to Blackpool Victoria Hospital by the North West Air Ambulance and later transferred to the Royal Preston Hospital, where his condition is critical.


A spokesman for Lancashire Constabulary, said witness statements had been taken. "We are investigating the incident and are in the process of trying to notify the gentleman's next of kin," he said.

Fireball man still fighting for life (Blackpool Gazette)


A MAN who turned himself into a human fireball on Blackpool beach continues to fight for life.
The 28-year-old was seen by horrified onlookers on Wednesday afternoon dousing himself with a liquid, believed to be petrol, before becoming engulfed in flames.
Witnesses on the Promenade close to North Pier have told police they shouted to the man to head for the sea to extinguish himself.
Blackpool Beach Patrol, paramedics and members of the fire service helped get the man to the air ambulance, which took him to the Royal Preston Hospital.
He was transferred to the specialist burns unit at Wythenshaw Hospital in Manchester and is said to be suffering from 80 per cent burns.
His condition was today described as critical.

###############################################
The day before I had spent the day on the internet reading my rights on the mental health act and armed with this I rang the hospital where my son Ian was a patient and begged them to section my Ian. Then I rang his psychiatrist (unbeknown to me he had never set eyes on Ian) and begged him to to section Ian for his own safety as I KNEW Ian was going to harm himself. THE HOSPITAL AND THE PSYCHIATRIST COMPLETELY IGNORED ME AND SAID 'Ian is fine'

I wasnt informed this last time that Ian went into hospital he had been in a few days and then on the monday he rang us and told us he was there. Because of his behavior the week prior to his admittance this is why I knew that he was at risk. He appeared to be doing so well but it became quite apparent to me and Trev that he was getting really sick. We wernt informed why he had gone in this time but because of the way he had been to us this is why I made a desperate plea to the hospital and his psychiatrist to be sectioned. We were only informed after Ians death that he had gone in as he had rung the police and told them he was going to do something serious to make them kill him.....now if this is not a sign that he was extremely unwell I do not know what is...he was at risk to not only himself but others too.....and yet the hospital knew this and they still did not section him they said 'he was fine'. Well he may have been fine for that moment but he was probably sedated up to the eyes anyway.

On the 6th September my husband and I had arranged with Ian to meet with him at 2pm there was to be a meeting to discuss his care. When we arrived at the hospital he wasnt there. The hospital informed us that he had gone out. Anway we had the meeting with out him, unbeknown to us while the meeting was being held Ian my precious son was being airlifted to hospital.

I didnt know about this until about 6pm when a policeman knocked on our door and told us that Ian had had an accident and that he was in Wythenshaw burns unit. We went almost immediately. I was there until the 8th September sitting by his bed. He wasnt concsious or in pain. Ian was bandaged from head to toe. Just a slight hole for his mouth and eyes but you couldnt recognise him in anyway except by his height he was a strapping 6 foot two.

Me Trev Julie and the kids were all devastated. We had the funeral at Poulton new cemetary where he is buried. My ex husband at the time would not ALLOW me to have my Ian cremated and he was prepared to take me to court or have Ian left in the funeral home. After a month I relented and had Ian buried. It just goes to show what a wicked man Ian's real dad is he not only did a serious rape to a family member but had to have his own way even in Ian's death. The service though was beautiful, the music by Freddie Mercury, Don Maclean and Enya was all so fitting...and afterwards we sent 50 balloons into the sky with messages on from us all. Ian loved John Lennon singing 'Imagine' and that was played too at his funeral along with puff daddy.

We still havnt had the inquest yet I think it will be sometime this year. Rethink the mental health charity are providing me with a barrister for that time.


Ian's dad Trevor died since on the 22nd May 2007 http://trevor-herbert-rothwell.gonetoosoon.co.uk/..Ian thought the world of Trev and Trev thought the world of Ian. They often went for games of snooker and to watch the football at City. Ian was really into his music ..everytime we saw him he had his earphones in! listening to his latest ...he loved listening to Enya and Queen amongst many others

Ian has a daughter Ellie Mae a sister Julie and two nephews Louie and Charlie he loved them all. He also had me his mum and Trevor his dad

Ian loved Mancity and fishing and betting at the bookies, he loved going to Cornwall especially Mousehole where we spent a family holiday.
Ian had great interest in all the galaxy and sometimes you would see him gazing at the stars, we even went to the lakes especially to see the stars in the sky once on a cloudless night.

In september 2005 exactly a year before Ians death Trev and I took Ian away on holiday to Devon for a week. We had the most fantastic time in fact this picture of Ian was taken on the way home at Symonds Yat.

We still havnt had the inquest I expect it to be sometime this year.

One of the reasons I suspect that Ian took his own life was partly due to the fact that his ex wouldnt allow Ian to see his daughter Ellie Mae, he was heartbroken over this as he was a brilliant father. We did go via the court at one stage but Ian gave up as he found the process too upsetting. Another thing was Ian's real father did a serious sexual assault on a family member and Ian could never really cope or get over it.

I hope my darling son that you get the peace now in heaven that you didnt get here on earth. I love you darling. mum

Dear Son although you're gone
The memories are so dear,
And there are so many thoughts of you
At this special time of year.

Thoughts of all the joy you brought
The smiles and laughter too,
And words cannot express the pain
That is felt at losing you.

Since the day that you were taken
Life has never been the same,
And so many hearts are missing you
As Christmas comes again.

Christmas Wishes to you and yours


My wish to you this Christmas Ian would be that you could open your presents with your family and friends, as that’s not possible I send you instead all my love and fondest thoughts this year.

I hope and pray that you guys are all together, all happy, all safe and all having a great time.

You are loved so much by those you have left behind and that in itself is a great gift. Much love as always.

HELP ME HELP MY FRIEND

Dear God, I need a favor,
My friend has major grief,
She's deep in pain and sorrow, Lord,
And she badly needs relief.

I'm not sure what to do,
And I don't know what to say,
I need your help to help her,
So this is what I pray.

Help me, God, to help my friend,
Help me to understand,
Let me have her load awhile,
To lend her a helping hand.

Give her respite and escape,
Let her rest and let her sleep,
Even for a little while,
In her place, please let me weep.

I know I cannot be her,
But if I could, I would,
I hurt because she hurts so bad,
I want her to feel good.

For even just a moment, Lord,
Let her tears roll down my face.
Soothe her hurts, give me her pain,
Let me stand in my friend's place.

Please ... please ... help her, Lord,
As only you can do,
Strengthen her and strengthen me,
So I may help her. too.

Virginia (Ginny) Ellis

WITH LOVE AT CHRISTMAS
This
Xmas,
I would
like to put
up a tree in my
heart, and instead
of hanging presents,
I would like to put the
names of all my friends.
Close friends and not so close
friends. The old friends, the new
friends. Those that I see every day
and the ones that I rarely see. The ones
that I always remember and the ones that
I sometimes forget. The ones that are always
there and the ones that seldom are. The friends of
difficult times and the ones of happy times. Friends
who, without meaning to, I have hurt, or without meaning
to have hurt me. Those that I know well and those I only know
by name. Those that owe me little and those that I owe so much.
My humble friends and my important friends. The names of all those
that have passed through my life no matter how fleetingly. A tree with
very deep roots and very long
and strong branches so that
their names may never be
plucked from my heart. So
that new names from all
over may join the existing ones. A tree with a very
pleasant shade so that our friendship may take a
moment of rest from the battles of life. "May the
happy moments of Xmas brighten every day of
the new year". These are my sincere wishes.

For Ian

The gifts I'd leave beneath your tree ♥
Aren't those that you can touch or see ♥
Not wrapped in Christmas paper ♥
But gifts to bless you every day ♥
The gift of friendship warm and true ♥
Is one that I would leave for you ♥
The gift of peace that comes from God ♥
With prayer to guide each path you trod ♥
And when your heart has lost it's song ♥
The gift of hope to cheer you on ♥
These are the gifts I'd leave for you ♥ xxx
