Dumped boyfriend, 20, posts heartbreaking final Facebook message telling his ex-lover where to find her Christmas presents before he is found dead

A TRAGIC young man's heartbreaking final Facebook post before he took his own life has gone viral - after he told his girlfriend where to find the Christmas presents he had already bought her.

Kieran Lister's upsetting post details how he had recently split from his girlfriend of two years before telling her it is not her fault and saying, “I don't know what to do anymore”.

The 20-year-old, from Leeds, West Yorkshire, who posted the message at 8.30pm on December 12 before he ended his short life, goes on tell his girlfriend where her Christmas presents are and what items to sell of his that will make her money.

He ends the post by telling people he is sorry for letting them down before begging for Facebook to not remove his post in the hope it will be an “eye opener to the people that are looking for happiness”.

The post reads: “I don't know what to do anymore. My girlfriend of over two years (yes you may think it's a short period) has decided we aren't good for each other anymore - two years is a long time to bond, to be happy with. Now we are separating I don't feel like I can cope without her full love any longer.

"She was and still is my everything. I don't think I will be able to get over this. I don't want to wait till I get over the situation because she's the only one that's ever made me truly happy.

“This isn't Beth's fault at all, we both just weren't right for each other in the end. I did a lot of bad in the relationship that may of led up to this. From day one to the end, I should of cared the same as I did during happy times.

“I guess people slowly move apart from each other and I would do anything to stop this but it's something that I have no control over.

“I know I'm being selfish considering I have my two families, my dog snoop, my reptiles & my princess Beth.

“I'd like to wish upon everyone to listen to these last wishes.

“To remember the good times I shared with people I'd like my favourite song to be played for me - Lion King circle of life. I would like someone to look after snoop for me until he joins me. He's looked after me through hard/good times and I'm sure he will look after whomever chooses to take it upon them.

“The flat and car I own, is now Beth's. Use my bank account to pay for it & the clothes I have that are worth money, eBay them to get more for it (don't throw them it's pointless). Once you have enough money to get a place better, make sure you are moving out with someone that cares.

"That won't just be there for the meantime, then move out but please take the photo on the wall with you. Please sell all my belongs, like consoles and everything that's worth something, the furniture, once you are done with, give to someone else that's in need and looking for somewhere to live.

"I wish everyone to look after each other, stop falling out and remember how precious life is. The presents I have bought Beth they're in loft), take them and have a good Christmas, a happy one. It's what I want & a lot of thought went into them.

"As I'm writing this upset and I can see snoop feeling the pain I'm feeling while whining (either that or he's hungry lol)

“I'm sorry to all the people I have hurt, let down and just generally upset. If I could I'd make everyone forgive me but I'm not god. Yet. I am not a believer of god, I'm just imagining someone powerful, who's indestructible. I wish I was.

“Please Facebook, don't take my post down. The reason I'm writing this for Facebook is because maybe this note will leave an eye opener to the people that are looking for happiness, something I've looked for my whole life.

"I want my family and friends to read this and to know, I care. I love everyone so dearly. I'm out. Don't try save me it's what I want.

“Let's play hide and seek but never stop looking for true happiness (sic).”

His post has been reacted to by over 20,000 people and shared around 11,500 times.

Thousands of people have commented about how “heartbreaking” it is to read the post, while others have simple wrote “RIP” and “God Bless”.

Unfortunately the post also attracted some negative comments prompting family members to speak out.

Sarah, Kieran’s cousin, posted: “I just want to put it out there that yes Kieran Lister was my cousin and I’m sure at time like this that all his family and friends want is some privacy.

“I cannot believe some of the nasty evil comments I’ve been reading especially from people that didn’t know him. R.i.p Kieran you really was a popular guy loved by many #havesomerespect (sic).”

Another user, going by the name of Lou, said: “If you have a mental illness the littlest things are the biggest things, I suffer with depression, and personality disorder I have tried to kill myself but end up in hospital in a bad way I've bin mental hospitals, that doesn't make me a selfish person because I'm ill and I don't no how to deal with situations that others can deal with, so for all you p****s out there saying this poor young man is selfish, sit on it because you will never now how it feels unless you've bin threw it (sic).”

Others commented that they feel for Kieran’s girlfriend after reading the post.

One user wrote: “Deepest sympathies to all. Clearly a very charismatic lad who struggles with mental health. My heart also goes out to his girlfriend who must be in a terrible place. Poor woman. Xxx REST IN PEACE.”

While another said: “I'm actually in tears, the fact he took his own life because he couldn't bare the thought of not being with her is heartbreaking. I've read a lot of the comments and some are vile and I couldn't read anymore.

“It isn't his ex's fault and I feel sorry for her to be going through this because the amount of hate messages she will receive is unbelievable and she'll remember this for the rest of her life. However, I do have an understanding of what he was feeling and I wish he'd have gone to someone or found quicker because the poor man wasn't in the right state of mind.

"My thoughts go out to his friends, family and his ex-girlfriend because I cannot imagine what they are all going through. R.i.p Kieran Lister.”

A spokesman for West Yorkshire Police said: “At 7.42pm on Monday, December 12, police received a call expressing concerns for the welfare of a 20-year-old man who had gone missing from his home in Churwell and had last been seen earlier in the day.

“Enquiries were carried out and searches conducted and the man was found dead in the Cottingley area at about 1.40am on Tuesday. The death is not being treated as suspicious and the Coroner's Office has been informed.”

Yesterday it was revealed a lonely nurse accidentally took her own life after posting on Facebook, hoping one of her online friends would come and save her.
