    Technically it is possible if the reason for cardiac arrest was hypothermia. The longest documented time between cardiac arrest and resuscitation is almost 7 hours. That’s where the old adage “No one is dead until they are warm and dead.” comes from.

        I didn’t want to include the cause of death because it seems even more outlandish and unbelievable than the duration of death, and the cause of death essentially deanonymizes my account. But I guess this username is already toasted from being used too much so I added evidence to my op.

            No worries bro. I got way more upset than I needed to. We’re good, my friend.

            I really should start lying and say I saw the matrix or something. Give the woo-woos an aneurysm.

      It’s also possible if you get cpr the entire time like we did.
