There is no official destructor for many KE synchronization objects (like
timers, DPCs and Events). You have to ensure that the object is not in use
and just free the memory (this could be embedded in another structure).

there is no destruction routine for KEVENTS created by
KeInitializeEvent. You simply free the memory the event is in.

like any of your other data structures, you are responsible for ensuring
that no one else is using that event now and that it won’t be used in
the future (through a stale pointer for example).

Not necessary. KeInitializeEvent just fills the fields.
