Some parts of the brain may be functioning just not the parts needed to function normally, which in my opinion the person is still living. With Cardiac arrest the hears stops suddenly, which ultimately causes definite death unless that person can get to a defibrillator in the short moments before the hearts stops completely.
2. How does the Prudent Person Rule apply
