A Scots man living with epilepsy for almost four decades has died after suddenly collapsing at home. Lifelong Hibs fan Bruce Nicholls had an epileptic seizure on April 15 and tragically passed away at the age of 56.
The Edinburgh man, from Liberton, had been diagnosed with epilepsy at the age of 17. Edinburgh Live reports that Bruce collapsed in the bathroom of the family home, where he had been living after losing his dad to cancer last year and his mum a few years before.
Despite the best efforts of medics and neighbours who rushed to give him CPR, he could not be saved. His devastated sister Audrey, who was on holiday at the time of Bruce's shock death, paid tribute to her brother as she spoke about his condition.
