Real-life CPR of a drowning victim

If he was clinically dead, how come he was moving his arms and looked like he was trying to breathe?

I think the arm and tongue movement you can see on camera is a result of the defibrillator shock. You have a few large muscles in your arms that, when contracted, will bend your arm like that. They also mention that he's in seizure, which could explain the movement.

Having no pulse doesn't mean your muscles can't move. Until your brain activity is affected by your lack of oxygen it is still sending electrical impulses through the nervous system, probably trying to make it work again.

Funny that they kept calling him Tucker when his name is Takahiro. Also annoying that they don't have a follow-up to explain what happened after he was transported away.

Still, fascinating. *quality

Very cool, though didn't care for it being delivered in the reality-TV context. Awesome to see and hear modern defibrillator equipment too.

I'm curious: Would this video have earned a ban if he'd not made it (due to the snuff agreement)?
