Can Dehydration Cause Dizziness And Unconsciousness?

my father passed out today while walking down a trail. He felt dizzy then nausea. My mother ran ahead for help when she returned he was unconscious and he soiled himself. This has happened before and I dont believe its simple dehydration. Would a person soil themselves because of dehydration?
