Dogs can have seizures triggered by any sort of excessive outside stimulus. Light and sound are common triggers, but I wouldn't be surprised if physical pain or stress caused by falling down stairs could trigger a seizure.
Scaring your dog does not cause a seizure. However, in dogs who already suffer from seizures, stress can bring on a seizure, so if you scare your dog, the stress from being scared can make the dog have a seizure.
A dog that is suddenly falling down and poops and pees on themselves may be having a seizure. A person should take the dog to the vet as soon as possible.
Unfortunately, yes, it is possible for a young dog to have a seizure and die either during the seizure or just after the seizure is over. You need to take your dog in to be seen by your Veterinarian. Medications can be given by your Vet to control the seizures. Each time your dog has a seizure, brain cells are destroyed. Take your dog immediately to a Veterinarian.

What is the diagnosis of why your dog is having seizures?
After hearing the noise downstairs, I quickly went to investigate to ensure everything was okay. I cautiously checked each room and found that it was just the sound of something falling over.
