This incident was his second one. He had one in 1993.

This is too bad. The doctors cannot find cause of the seizures because it is idiopathic...

Forgive me, but as House said, that's the meaning of the word. You can't not find the cause because it is idiopathic, you can't find the cause therefore it is idiopathic.
