The article states: "A man who died twice for about two minutes at a time, once from a motorcycle accident, once from an overdose of painkillers." I would question whether 2 minutes qualifies as being dead...
We don't have much detail except that the person was "medically dead." Dr. Sam Parnia has done much work in this area and he says that doctors give up too easily; typically after 20 minutes of working to bring someone back from the "dead," doctors give up because there is the fear of reviving them into a vegetative state. On the other side of the coin there is the documented case of a Japanese woman who was brought back after being "dead" for more than 3 hours. What constitutes "dead" is not always clear, but I don't think 2 minutes of being "medically dead" constitutes existential termination.
