What Causes Blacking Out, Eyes Rolling Back And Frothing?

My dad is 70. Today he was sitting the dining room table when he dropped the newspaper fell out of the chair, his eyes rolled back in his head and froth was coming from his mouth. We rolled him on his side and this went on for about two minutes. He came to and had no memory of want happened and insisted he was ok. What could possibly cause this?
