Coming to your question
Actually during the process of death , many a times patient gastric fluids regurgitate and mixed with Respiratory scretions come out of the mouth of that person. That is the the most generalized explanation of the phenomenon .But still if you are very curious what exactly happned ,then there are many factors which have to be taken into account and that is only possible in postmortem report prepared by a Forensic expert.
