SUDEP is rare, but that’s only because other people tend to be around during seizures.

What are you basing this statement on?

However, that doesn’t mean we should immediately default to “it was a hit that used one of those drugs.”

Of course. Occam’s razor still applies here. But knowing how resistant ME/MDs (depending on state) to put “epilepsy” as the cause of death, the “it was seizures” explanation remains unusual. BTW, I ended up looking into it, so the chief ME’s report is still pending. So it’s not like anybody has final conclusions and everybody’s speculating here.
