Epilepsy and hypertension

Sat, 05/15/2004 - 18:41
My mother, age 62, died face down in her pillow. The cause of death was "seizure disorder due to hypertension." This does not sound right to me. I had no idea she had a "seizure disorder" until family members told me after her death. Does this make sense? She had an abusive mate for several years that may have caused severe head trauma.
