IIRC, the only person to have ever survived rabies was put into a medically-induced coma shortly after contracting the disease, under the theory that rabies would be more likely to attack actively-functioning brain tissue than brain tissue that was sitting idle. Rather a far-out theory, but since rabies had up to that time been absolutely 100% fatal, having some chance was deemed better than having none. After the disease ran its course, the person was taken out of the medically-induced coma and found to have survived it.
Allowing someone to survive rabies isn't quite "bringing him back from the dead", but it's pretty close.
My point was that they claimed that he was found dead, then spent the next two weeks in a medically induced coma, during which time they harvested his organs, then they removed him from life support. Rather an odd order for things to occur.
