Looking at the article the word was a quote from the team doctor, but it might have been better to use a less flashy, but accurate headline.

Your correct point that you do not resuscitate someone who is conscious points to the problem in the headline. It would have made more sense to say he suffered a cardiac arrest, but was resuscitated. This captures the seriousness with both facts.

I hope that he regains his health completely.

He was gone. His heart wasn't beating. LisaL Jun 2021 #25

Using the word gone, I read as he died before they were able to get to resuscitate him JohnSJ Jun 2021 #28
