yes, it is possible to die from a seizure if you dont get proper help. First, if the seizure is not stopped it will basicalyy fry the brain. Also while seizing people can swallow their tongues and choke to death. But since your friend survived her seizure, i am sure you dont have to worry as much. I am sure she has seen a doctor that figurred out why it happened and treating her to make sure that it doesnt happen again, and teaching her to take precaution on what to do if it does.
If you are really concerned you might want to read up on basic first aid techniques, a lot of them will tell you what to do during a seizure.

Sounds like she might have epilepsy. Yes it IS possible for a seizure to kill you, but damage is more likly from the fall when a person goes into a seizure. Usually slamming the back of their head against the ground.

Of course you can. The longer the seizure the worse. I work with people that have them and they will stiffen up and sometimes wet their pants and the only thing to do is to time the seizure and let medical help know how long it lasted.

o.k. the strobe light probably caused it, it is common for some to react that way to flashing lights.....seizures don't usually kill you, swallowing your tongue, or hitting your head is usually what does it.....she should see a doc to find out more.
