Is he in hospital just now? Hopefully so and is receiving treatment for what would appear to be a Hepatic Encephalopathy related incident. britishlivertrust.org.uk/in...

He's obviously quite poorly at the present time so doctors will be doing all they can to stabilize his condition. It's not clear what country you are in so can't offer advice on next steps.
