AI-generated summary
Baher Kondos, a 33-year-old man with epilepsy, intellectual disability, and schizophrenia, died suddenly at his supported accommodation facility. He was found unresponsive in bed and despite CPR, could not be resuscitated. Post-mortem examination initially found the cause unascertained, but after consideration of his medical history, the forensic pathologist concluded the death was due to Sudden Unexplained Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP). The coroner found no deficiencies in his care by Yooralla staff. SUDEP is the leading cause of death in young adults with uncontrolled seizures. No clinical interventions could have prevented this natural death.
