Popis:	A 57-year-old man with severe mental retardation and epilepsy was found unresponsive. The primary caretaker said that he was on the toilet, rolled his eyes, and stopped breathing. She did not witness either generalized tonic-clonic seizures or trauma. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation was initiated by family members; paramedics found him in asystole. The patient was intubated and flown to the nearest emergency department (ED). However, he remained in asystole and was pronounced dead.
