Think I need a refresher on my CPR. Most EMTs tell me that it really does no good for a heart attack. With such a young victim maybe it would have been successful. Will never know. Having done equally stupid things in my youth, its a there but for the grace of God go I sort of thing. Prayers up for kid and his family.

You don't understand, it is not a heart attack, getting hit in the chest with an object moving at speed, in between beats, not during a beat, will cause the heart to stop. There have been cases such as this where CPR started the heart again, and a defibrillator would most certainly start it up. In a severe heart attack the heart stops because of damage to the heart, CPR may or may not help, sometimes it does, sometimes not, this is a different situation entirely and can happen to anyone under the right conditions.
