It looks like your uncle had some pneumonia which got very severe and hence now has went into a metabolic encephalopathy (a stage like coma)
Why this happen is very difficult to explain without seeing any xrays and reports here but what i feel from the description that he must have had some acute viral infections like influenza or others.
His age is 80 and hence the infections do cause a faster deterioration in people of his age.
WE WILL PRAY FOR HIM TO GET BETTER SOON
