If a person faints and then regains consciousness, does he have to make up the fast?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : And likewise, if a person is struck by an accident that deprives him of his mind in a way that recovery is not expected. However, if it is in a way that recovery is expected, such as if he merely fainted, then if he regains consciousness, he must make up the fast. But if his mind is completely lost, he owes no fast, meaning that if he owes no fast, there is no blood money (diyah) to be paid for it.
