Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
It is a very unfortunate incident that you have narrated and my condolences with you as well as his near and dear ones.
It is most likely due to a cardiac problem, based on your description, which led to cardiac and respiratory arrest. Lack of
oxygen would have led to
loss of consciousness.
Another possibility is a
seizure, which can also occur due to
hypoxia (low oxygen).
Please get back if you require any additional information.
Best wishes,
