Hello dear,
I.extrimally sorry about you brother. As a medical terms, your brother heart may be stop more than 5 min. At the.time of attack, in this case your brother brain has hypoxia and he will go in hypoxic brain coma. Thus type of pts may has been recover or may not be. So please let him try to doctor untill last breath.
