Raw: Fears missing man had epileptic seizure

The mother of a Rotorua man missing on Lake Rotorua says she suspects her son had an epileptic seizure while trying to swim for shore. William Rouppe van der Voort, 24, went fishing with his flatmates around 5pm last night, his mother Julie van der Voort said. The lake was "like glass" so none of the men had lifejackets. Her son was a strong swimmer and all the men were experienced on the lake, she said.
