Maddock’s death was ruled a sudden unexpected death in epilepsy, “on a background of recent brand switch to Logem, insomnia, an increase in the dose of lamotrigine and mild chronic appendicitis”. Coroner Marshall said as there was no clear link between the drug switch and the deaths, she was unable to make any recommendations. She said she accepted the evidence Logem was “fit for purpose”. Maddock’s partner Nadia Jooste was with him when he died at their Torbay home. She said this week she was “disappointed” the coroner had made no recommendations. Nadia Jooste/Supplied Maddock loved spending time with his young son, Lucas.
