Sudden unexplained death in childhood, or SUDC , is a category of death for children age 1 and older .
Around 400 children in the U.S. die without an explanation each year.
Around 30 percent of children with unexplained death have a history of febrile seizures.
Forensic pathologists reviewed seven videos the registry received of children who were 13 to 27 months old .
Six of the children appeared to have a seizure shortly before they died, the team reported online in Neurology in January .
The videos add evidence that seizures probably play a prominent role in SUDC , Gould says.
