Abstract
Epilepsy is commonly encountered in forensic pathology and is ultimately determined to be the cause of death in 1–2% of medicolegal death investigations. Epilepsy is a risk factor for death from external causes, including accidents and drowning. More commonly, deaths result from the underlying epilepsy pathology, including intracranial neoplasms, cerebrovascular disease, status epilepticus, and sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP). SUDEP refers to the sudden death in an epilepsy patient that lacks an alternative anatomic or toxicological cause of death. At autopsy, intracranial pathology is present in the majority of epilepsy-related deaths and is more likely to be identified following brain fixation. Common findings include brain tumors, mesial temporal sclerosis, and malformations of cortical development. Death investigators should pay particular attention to clinical history to establish a clear history of epilepsy and to determine seizure type, frequency, underlying etiology, and prior medical and surgical treatments as well as other comorbid medical conditions. A complete autopsy with toxicology is necessary to identify other causes of death, particularly in cases of suspected SUDEP. While toxicology may be helpful in some cases, caution must be taken in interpreting postmortem antiepileptic drug concentrations as levels decrease postmortem.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
