Death likely from congestive heart failure; gurgling when breathing, then loss of consciousness/foam coming from nose/mouth. could cpr have helped?

No: A person in decompensated heart failure needs more than cpr.

Sudden death: Possibly but low chance of success. An automated external defibrillator to shock the heart might have helped more than cpr.
