What Causes Irregular Heart Beat With Shortness Of Breath?

My friend is in hospital and is expected to pass on at any time, since yesterday his heart has stopped beating several times only to start again after about 20 seconds. It s like a short death. He is several states away so I am unable to ask his doctor or hospital. Why would this happen?
