What Causes Episode Of Seizure?

My 74 father had an episode this weekend while out in the yard. Felt nauseous and like he was going to throw up.. Then his eyes rolled back in his head, and head went back. Fell to the ground like a tree ... Not like a collapse with fainting had kind of a moan and foam around his mouth.
