The case of a man whose heart stopped beating for 1½ hours only to revive just as doctors were preparing to remove his organs for transplants is fueling ethical debates in France about when a person is dead.

Several weeks later, the man can walk and talk
that surprises me,  I has always understood that the brain turns to shit after such a long time without oxygen.

I doubt 90 minutes is long enough for considerable brain damage.

I'm guessing he didn't really die.  I've heard of peoples heart slowing down so slow that what I doctor listens, he won't hear anything.  That's probably what happened.  Just enough blood pumping to keep the brain going, but slow enough to think he was dead.

When brain cells dont get all the oxygen they need, they start to die. Something like 7-9 minutes till there is just too much damage. Though dont quote me on that, I havent reviewed my lifeguard training manual in a while
