Foam From Mouth Over Night After Supper. What Could The Cause Of Death Be?
A prominent politician from my area who was in good health went to visit his rural area. At 8 pm, he was served with super and then retired to bed. In the morning he was found dead with foam coming from his mouth. What could be the cause considering he was in good health by the time he went to bed?

Hi
Might be that person, otherwise looking healthy is having undetected, symptomless Hypertension. Found dead with foam coming from his mouth(froth) is most likely due severe Pulmonary Oedema develpoed as complication of Sudden Massive Myocadial Infarction(Heart Attack) which may occur due to Hypertension. If he was drunk, might be due to choking by the vomitus(drowning in their own body fluid)
