Answers:
epilepsy is scary but is very very rarely fatal. the overwhelming majority of deaths from epilepsy are caused by injuries to the person having the seizure, ie; falling and hitting head. but as far as someone just dying because of the seizure itself, that would be very unlikely...look up "status epileptus"..this is the way a seizure could be a medical emegency..
It can be treated with medication and the proper pediatric Doctor !
You will be close to him in life or you will lose him
