In late November, 1982 three cavers entered Lisanby Cave near Princeton in Caldwell County, Kentucky. They apparently planned to stay in the cave overnight, as is done on occasion by locals, and built a fire a short ways inside. One of the group (age 18) was epileptic and unfortunately suffered a seizure. His companions "either panicked or simply left him alone while seeking help. While unattended the victim fell into the fire and suffered serious burns. He was reportedly evacuated by local rescue authorities.
Anyone prone to any occasional physical malfunction should alert his companions to proper remedial procedures before a trip.
