Edit: The admins have told me if I don't say this was an accident then they will remove the post.

SUDEP is rare, but that’s only because other people tend to be around during seizures. She was alone all night, and epileptics are also more likely to seize in their sleep; Something like 75% of all seizures start while the person is asleep.

I agree that making it look natural is much easier when the person is epileptic; The list of medications that interact with (or directly counteract) epilepsy meds is a mile long. However, that doesn’t mean we should immediately default to “it was a hit that used one of those drugs.”

What are you basing this statement on? (the causality part)

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.
