Epilepsy is a common condition which affects the brain and causes frequent seizures. It can be treated with medication or surgery, though some people need treatment for life.

Most people with epilepsy are able to live normal lives if their seizures are well controlled, the NHS explains, though in some cases it is responsible for sudden, unexpected death.

"There will be a time to share more details and to go deeper into her life. Her accounts will be used to share what she went through and the joys she brought to all of us."
