Hi Everybody,

I read the newspaper today, I don't understand what it means, please advise.

Newspaper Topic: Police follow epilepsy clue after fatal minibus horror.

Part of Content: A woman was killed and her daughter seriously injured in Ma On Shan late on Monday when they were run down by a minibus whose driver apparently suffered an epileptic fit.

Question: What is the meaning of "epilepsy clue"? Is it a man or object?
Question: What is the meaning of "late on Monday"?
Question: What is the meaning of "suffered an apileptic fit?

I have searched the dictionary, but I still don't quite understand the exact meaning of them.
