From Summer Report, 8:44 am on 3 January 2020

The partner of a man who died following a seizure says she's confident it's because he was forced to change his epilepsy medication.

31-year-old Andre Maddock died on December 16 after changing to the Logem brand of epilepsy medication only two and half weeks earlier.

His partner, Nadia Jooste, told Leigh-Marama McLachlan the couple had settled in to watch a movie after putting their son to bed when he told her he could feel a seizure coming on.
