52-year-old foster dad, Lee McHale, tragically took his own life a week before facing eviction due to the 'bedroom tax'. His family believes his death could have been prevented. Lee, who had fostered children for around 14 years, fell into debt and was at risk of eviction when his housing benefit did not fully cover his rent. The 'bedroom tax' left him subject to eviction due to unoccupied rooms in his home.
