James Thomson, who lived in Prestwich, leaves behind a wife and two young sons
Lorna Thomson watched as her husband James lay himself down on their living room floor. This wasn’t anything out of the ordinary. James knew he was about to suffer a seizure and wanted to prepare for the convulsions.Lorna frantically dialled 999 as her autistic son ran outside to wait for paramedics. James was rushed to North Manchester General Hospital and taken straight to the intensive care unit.
“I wish I had the chance to tell him how much I loved him and how he made me happy,” Lorna said. “I know it sounds daft, but to be honest, up until the day he died I thought he was going to wake up. I genuinely thought he would wake up.” James had suffered an estimated seven seizures before his final one at home on September 15. However, his family still don’t know how he died – and it could be up to a year before they find out the results from his post-mortem.
“We knew he was going to die,” primary school teacher Lorna added. “The day before, doctors said there was nothing they could do for him and they were absolutely sure he was going to die because his organs started failing. “He passed away with his mum and sister by his side. It was very peaceful; we turned the lights down, played his favourite music and watched him. When something like this happens, it’s so strange because I can’t imagine what it’s like to go through that with someone you know and not have that final goodbye.”
“He was an incredible person,” Lorna added. “He was very kind and generous. He had a dry sense of humour. People at work didn’t know whether he was ever joking or not.
