It’s is verifiably an accident. It is also extremely convenient for the people she threatened.

Dying from epilepsy is only rare in circumstance that a person isn’t close by. Chances of Dying from epilepsy is quite scarey in that there is a possibility on every single epileptic seizure that a person could die.
People with epilepsy have a chance of dying if they are awake and no one is around fast enough to do anything.
Almost lost a neighbour this way.
if they are asleep there is less a chance someone might come by. Because everyone else is asleep and unless someone is in bed with you they wouldn’t know to wake up and do something to help.
97% of seizures spontaneously stop in less than 5minutes. People on medication ( that they actually take), seizures tend to be shorter and in the setting of partial onset epilepsy (which is usually the case in adults) they are also more focal or shorter at breakthrough. So yeah, technically any seizure can kill you, but in reality they very rarely do. Also, the family of this person was comfortable having her alone in her home suggesting this hasn’t been a regular occurrence etc.
Of course, this doesn’t mean anything but again, it is unusual.
It means maybe take off the tinfoil hat for a bit.
Yeah, just because something is unusual, it doesn’t mean that another unusual explanation is automatically true.
Does that mean that 3% of seizures require intervention?
I would imagine the probabilities aren’t independent, but if they were, the probability of someone staying in the 97% for 10 seizures in a row is 73.7%. 20 seizures in a row drops the probability to 54%. Under that math, even if the probability of something going wrong is low in any given seizure, someone who has many seizures in a lifetime will likely experience something serious at some point.
