Best Answer

I was trying to find an answer for this earlier and the best thing I found was:

Your muscles stop working when you die, so your bladder empties and stuff like that, because the muscles holding and controlling that stuff quit.

In the same way, the muscle preventing backflow from your stomach into your mouth quits too, allowing stomach acid into your mouth.

I read somewhere else foam is made from a mixture of chemicals and substances and when it hits air it bubbles.

SO. I'm concluding that as the person's dying, one by one their muscles slow/quit (I'm assuming heart and brain would be last to shut down).

When the muscle controlling the stomach stops, acid goes up into your mouth, mixed with whatever they overdosed on, making the foam. Air hits it, causing it to bubble and bubble up to where you can visibly see it on their lips.
