During the riot a guard has a stroke (I think triggered by an injection or injury from the inmates). It's shown in detail and the guard's face has clear signs of having had a stroke.

No graphic depictions of strokes are in the series. Shadowsight has seizures, not strokes. Some cats (such as Sagewhisker) are confirmed outside the books to have died from cardiac events.

Yes. The main twist of the book (big spoiler) is that Harrow lobotomized herself, and used necromancy to essentially give herself a stroke every time she hears the name of another character, preventing her from remembering them.
