English term or phrase: What happened to him?

Hi,

Your language is so rich that many words are given for "to happen" in my dictionary. Please let me know the most usual.

E.g. if you see someone looking very tired and ill, you might ask, "What happened to him?"

Best wishes,

Simon

what happened to him? क्या हो गया है इसे? or इसे क्या हो गया है? / उसे क्या हो गया है?

Explanation:
One may express it either way depending on whether the stress is to be given on इसे or on क्या हो गया है. However, इसे or उसे may be used depending on the proximity of the person. If one is present nearby, then we might say क्या हो गया है इसे? or इसे क्या हो गया है? And if one is a bit away or far away, we might say उसे क्या हो गया है?
