If he was without oxygen for over 5 minutes it is very unlikely he will ever recover.

According to TMZ:

1:35 PM PT — Sources tell us at 10:30 Monday morning a chaplain was called to Tom’s hospital room. We’re told the family has a do not resuscitate order on Tom. The singer is not expected to live throughout the day, but he’s still clinging to life. A report that the LAPD confirmed the singer’s death is inaccurate — the L.A. County Sheriff’s Dept. handled the emergency.

Who would have guessed that the best news of the day would be that Tom Petty is still alive.
