Hello! Thanks for putting your query in Chat Doctor. I am a Gastroenterologist. I covey my sincerest condolence to your family for such a big blossom your description it suggests that he was having decompensated cirrhosis, and he was in hepatic encephalopathy at time of death which was worsening. It has many precipitating factors like dyselectrolytemia, infection, worsening kidney function etc. So any one of these may be responsible for the death. Also, as he was having foam from his mouth it may be seizure leading to death hope I have answered your query and this will help you. Wish you a good health
