Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP) is the term used when a person with epilepsy passes away without warning and where the post-mortem fails to establish any other cause of death.
I created this animation to raise awareness of this issue after the loss of my friend Shannon in 2017.
Each tally mark is used to represent a person, building up to 1000 to represent the 1 in 1000 statistic of those affected by SUDEP. The audio is taken from a conversation I had with one of my close friends that I attended the funeral with.
