(26,514 posts)People can be revived via CPR or a defibrillator when their heart or breathing stops. They are clinucally,"dead," but if treatment is started soon enough, they will live.
But a drug reviving a dead person? No. He was trying to sound like he knew about a.miracle drug, but did not comprehend what he was trying to show off about. An unconscious person with such weak, declining vital signs that they were near death might improve enough to recover, but not a dead person.
As for the Last Rites claim, I am not Catholic, but I think that a priest is called while a person is dying and he will administer the sacrament even to an unconscious, dying person. So the presence of a priest does not not mean the person is dead.
He takes a germ of truth and fabricates a story around it. Reality is not his forte.
