If someone has passed away and exhibited these signs the safest thing to do is wait until the death certificate is issued which is usually within 6 weeks or less and look for the cause of death that was signed by a doc in the lower boxes on the cert.  Usually if there is foam and blood it is usually pulmonary related however its a pretty common occurance that when people die to foam at the mouth....the blood however is not common...........sorry for your loss.......................
