SP - 33 EP - 38 VL - 40 IS - 1 N2 - 473 cases of death by drowning were examined for evidence of previous neurological disorders linked with the occurrence of epileptic fits. It was found that 16 persons (3.4%) were undergoing medical treatment for epilepsy. In a further 10 cases there was evidence of the possibility of previous disorders in which epileptic fits and syncopal attacks played a dominant part. Besides the risks from the previous disorders, additional risk factors are discussed.
