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

The Ornaments
By Lyndie Sorenson

Ornaments all packed away
Labeled fragile handle with care
As I open up the special box...
It has been another difficult year

I carefully unwrap each ornament
Place them lovingly on the tree
My mind drifts back to holidays
When you were here with me

The ornaments you made in school
Those with your sweet face
I hold them close against my heart
As If it's you I do embrace

The tears again begin to flow
This pain is deep within
Each ornament that shines so bright
The way our lives had been

The Christmas music softly plays
Outside the snow does fall
Inside my heart still broken
It shall never mend at all

I place the final ornament
Upon the Christmas tree
I wish I wish upon a star
That you were here with me

WISH WE COULD BE TOGETHER
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

Thinking of you
Makes the miles disappear,
Together we're looking at bright decorations,
Enjoying what we like to do,
Thinking of you makes the miles disappear~
For you're missed very much
All year through…

So just because you're
Far away, don't think
For a moment that you're forgotten.
I'm thinking about you because loving thoughts travel far,
And wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a New Year
Full of wonderful things
Wish we could be together.


*♥* MERRY CHRISTMAS ANGEL IN HEAVEN *♥*

Beautiful memories are wonderful things
They last till the longest day
They never wear out
They never get lost
And can never be given away
To some you may be forgotten
To others a part of the past
But to us who loved and lost you
your memory will always last...
Gone are the days we used to share,
But in our hearts you are always there,
The gates of memory will never close,
We miss you more than anyone knows,
With tender love and deep regret,
We who love you will never forget.

On Christmas Day, dear son, it’s
true
My heart’s still aching,
longing, dear, for you.
I had the dearest son in all the
world I know,
He’ll always be within my
thoughts because I loved him so.
To see him was to love him And
love him, but forever,
For God did make him,special to me
And never made such another.

for you ian xx

hello there ian, i am cathrine mclear sister to val and joseph mclear, my brother took his life too, so i know the pain your family will be going threw by loosing you ian,
i hope your at peace now and just having fun you deserve to be at peace angel as you must having been going threw some rough stuff to go the way you did because i no how hard it is to actuly do it while thinking of your loved ones as i tryed several times to take my life when i lost joseph, although i think i would have done it the 3rd time i tryed if the police hadnt found me and took me to the hospital, but the first 2 times i have tryed i ended up telling my mum so she could take to hospital because i couldnt bear the thought of hurting my mum dad brothers and daughter, so you see ian i know how much pain you must have been in to actully do what you did and even tho i think it was the most stupid thing in the world to do and im sorry if that sounds harsh i think there should be a special place for you in heaven untill your mum and family can be with you again.
all my love angel forever
