weekend. The 20 year-old
started several popular Disney
Channel television shows and
series in a statement his
family road. He passed away in
his sleep due to a seizure
which was a result of an
ongoing medical condition for
which he was being treated.
The world is now undoubtedly
without one of its brightest
lights. They’re all just after
I show up or eat from Memorial
Hospital joins us this morning.
Good morning. Thank you for
being here appreciate it.
We know nothing more than that
statement released by the
family, considering what they
said an ongoing medical
condition for which he was
being treated in that this was
a seizure seizure could this
have been perhaps that caused
his death.
>> It must have been a a
I would separate EPA long sees
a rich know when you have these
are some things you affect your
dad of a and not have it can be
developed for a long time and.
Have what because sometimes cardiac arrest and and that’s out and lose your route.
You die out of
the sea that my 7 per to
prolong seasons and and do
these just strike suddenly and
independently or.
>> Could we assume based on
what the family said an ongoing
medical condition that perhaps
this was something that they
were aware of that he could
have a seizure.
>> A lot of times he’s a star
just comes out of the blue and
it’s ready set an abnormal
brain
activity that comes on many
festival from a different
different ways and can affect.
You in London woman’s you
can lose your consciousness and
if it continues for a long time
and it can be pretty
a devastating.
>> So Kate what can cause it.
I was surprised because I was
doing research about seizures,
there are a number of different
kinds of seizures seizure, some
of them can just because even
by by a fever in in young
children,
it’s correct.
>> So the indictment of the
different in
the young kids most of the time
you buddy about different kind
of that let these and as you go
you. I did he have any kind of
brain injury trauma, a stroke
or any kind infects into the
brain. Those are the risk
factors that but she had this
for 10 seasons
later on and there are multiple
different times depending on
what part of the brain you
get involved. The divide in a
what because general
a season a Grandma seats
season, which is one of the
most common one city because
they have no brain activity in
one to hold brain and you shake
you haven’t wanted to get King.
You passed out forming at them
out your eyes rolled back up
and in the smaller Caesars that
would be called but did not see
those that in malls a this part
of the
brain and that can and in
many fest is either just like
standing on a time since losing
the Venice or.
Focal involuntary movement of
one side of the body the other
side of the ball well and
what’s so difficult that about
this it sounds like then that
you may not even know that
you’re prone to epilepsy or
having seizures until you have
that first episode is that
right that is correct is there
a genetic component where you
know perhaps if I were
epileptic then my children
could have the epilepsy and
then at least
I could.
>> Be forewarned you know that
this could happen with
my children and a state of
small percent of a case these
are the types of Caesars that
led to the charging that IQ
which runs in the family.
>> But that’s not ready big
amount overall well it’s
frightening to think that you
just don’t know you could be
sitting across from your
child’s an example make it
suddenly this could happen.
>> Are there things that
trigger it.
>> Might have been different
figures at times especially
make if flashing lack
of sleep. If your body is going
through any kind of stress an
infection that can protect its
Carlos uygur logarzo vigil for
some medication for example,
let’s assume for a minute we
don’t know, but that to be an
ongoing medical condition.
>> That it was likely that his
family was aware that he could
have seizures is there some
kind of medicine that you can
take that would prevent that
particular your sleep in.
You know you could be by
yourself in and this could
happen to you know it could
help you.
>> It said that it’s
easy so. And faith Hill and
just come on so suddenly so
there are no leg really prevent
too many
cases that and people take over
prescribe him in his journey if
you have any signs
of Caesars then you tried to go
and see your doctor and try to
figure out more
about it.
>> How how difficult and then
this poor family to rise, you
know could have hit and hit so
suddenly and at that time what
we’re we’re presuming he was by
himself and no one could know
and you just go in and he’s
already thought. Doctor thank
you for being here do
appreciate it thank you for
your insight on this
and of course as we continue to
follow Cameron Boyce is dead.
