An “amazing” brother and son died after stabbing himself in the chest during an epileptic seizure, an inquest heard.
An inquest into the death of Rayan Essam Mahmoud Bastawi which took place today in Brighton heard that Rayan, 33, had been diagnosed with the condition in his early 20s but his fits had got significantly worse in February 2023.
On February 27, Rayan suffered a severe seizure where he was violent towards himself.
His family told Brighton Coroner’s Court he was “jumping and dancing about” and that they had never seen him have this type of seizure before.
