I wonder if he could have had a stroke. When my Dad had one in his 80's I was visiting and he was stumbling down the hall. My stepmom thought he was just tired (they had helped a sibling move earlier in the day) and the after dinner cocktail might have affected him. I checked him out and called an ambulance. It was a stroke. He recovered fully, but had he been somewhere other than the safety of his home it would not have ended well. He was completely out of it, and he was always level headed and articulate.
