Like percentage if you know. Something happened in front of one of my friends and i'm pretty sure the chances are good and i'm looking to reassure them.
Thanks

People hardly ever die from the seizure itself. Possibly, a person will die from the problem which caused the seizure. Most of the time, a seizure is a warning that there are problems which need to be looked at. Hopefully, the seizure was caused by something treatable.
Tell your friend not to jump to any conclusions. There are a lot of things which can cause a seizure, but people don't die from the seizure itself. Often a seizure makes a person aware of a problem so that they can get it treated.

I don't understand your question, but many people survive seizures everyday. In fact I had epilepsy for 28 years and had at least 2 or 3 seizures a day and the only serious things that ever happened when I had a seizure was I hit my head a couple of times and go a concussion and had to get stitches a couple of times but I survived all those years of having complex partial type seizures and I had brain surgery back in 2001 to cure the epileptic seizures.

a seizure is when your brain has problems stransmitting neurons in your brain. (these people are usually called epileptic). Its like abnormal electric activity of the brain and it causes them to become unconcious/ convulse for an amount of time. Most epilepsy is not serious and the person can tell if he or she are going to sieze. they get what is called an aura around them. in other cases the epilepsy can control some ones live if they are having too many seizures a day. the most common affect of the siezure will be weakness of the body for a few hours. death is extremely rare and more common to a lengthier one. injury from a fall in the seizure is more dagerous than most seizures themselves. very common and probably nothing at all to be worried about.

Dieing from a seizure is very rare, however dieing from something as a result of a seizure is more common. For example, if you hit your head very hard while having a seizure or if you aspirate fluid into your lungs.

I've never heard of anyone dying from a seizure, unless they fell badly, but not from the actual seizure.
