What Causes Sudden Stiffness In The Body After A Seizure Attack?
my brother 57 had what appeared to be a seizure as his body became very stiff, eyes fixed and he fell backwards fracturing his skull causing internal bleeding that took his life 24 hours later. I want to know if the seizure caused the stroke or a stroke caused him to have a seizure? he was stiff for almost 10 minutes and until medics arrived.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I would explain that we cannot know if the trauma has caused the intracranial bleeding or the opposite.
Anyways, the autopsy would have helped to exclude a possible brain aneurysm, which could have lead to intracranial bleeding followed by the seizure and head trauma.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
