Okay, so the current story being pushed is that Kymberly's epilepsy caused her death while she was sleeping, and that a seizure was more likely due to heightened stress. An example of this report can be found here I did some digging here and found this: "It’s not known exactly why stress might trigger seizures. But many people with epilepsy say that if they are feeling stressed, they are more likely to have a seizure. For some people, feeling stressed can lead to other things, such as changing sleeping or eating habits, drinking more alcohol, and feeling anxious or depressed. All of these can also increase your risk of having a seizure."


A little more research into how severe epileptic seizures can be led me here and I found this statistic "People with seizures with no known cause may die only 2 years earlier than expected." This means that, without having a stroke or brain tumour or anything similar it is unlikely that seizures would kill her at such a convenient time. Scary.


The website makes 3 points about how seizures can be fatal:
"If seizures can’t be stopped or repeated seizures occur one right after another, permanent injury or death can occur."


"People with epilepsy can also die from problems that occur during or after a seizure, such as inhaling vomit. This problem can be prevented if the person is turned onto one side as soon as possible. This allows saliva, vomit, or other fluids to drain out of the mouth and not go back into the lungs."


"Despite the risks, it’s important for people to remember that it is not common for people to die from seizures"


How common exactly is an unexpected and sudden death from a seizure? Well, looking here I found that the odds for an adult are 1 in 1000. Whatever the media is claiming, the haven't put much thought into it before hand. Do they really expect us to believe this? It's just far too convenient to be true.

Epilepsy or not, it's not impossible for a younger person to randomly die, and this could just be a coincidence and not a (((cohencidence))) but with everything else that's so shady and weird about the Las Vegas shooting story, you really have to think....
