This sounds like an emergency. Tom needs to see the veterinarian quickly. It's possible he had heat stroke but other causes are also possible (poison, ruptured tumor...many other causes).
Here is some information about heat stroke:

Tom may need some extensive veterinarian care and he needs supportive care like IV fluids. Best of luck.,
