Polygamists’ son, whose birth was seen on their TV show, dies in house fire in southeast Utah

The birth of Adonijah was seen in the first few minutes of the first episode of his family’s documentary television show, “Three Wives, One Husband.” The show premiered last year in Britain and recently aired in the United States on the TLC Network. Adonijah was the 17th of his father’s 20 children and the seventh of eight children born to his mother, Lillian Foster.

“It brings his mother comfort knowing he chose to share his birth with so many — that so many got the opportunity to meet him,” Enoch Foster said Wednesday.

The family lives in Rockland Ranch, a community near Moab where the homes are built into the side of a slickrock mesa.
