But one day i take him to the bathroom and when i was walking him back to the bed he layed back , his face turned very red and he started foaming from his mouth right there he passed i just want to know if he died from his heart condition or could there have been another cause ?

Hi,
From history it seems that your father might have got massive heart attack as he was advised open cardiac surgery.
In this condition he might have major arteries block so even with minor strain he might have got myocardial infarction.
Ok and take care.
