The heart beating is not a good definition of being alive in my opinion. The heart stopping temporarily doesn't mean you died, you were just in terribly grave danger.
If a person is defined by their heart, what does that make a heart transplant?
utterly useless definition.
It's a good thing that the lack of a heartbeat isn't the ultimate definition of dead. But it can be one of the markers of dead.
I mean, sure, you won't stay alive for very long with a stopped heart.
