A member asked:
Can you die for a couple seconds and then come back to life if you have a pace maker?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: A pacemaker will only keep the heart rate at above a certain level if your intrinsic heart rate drops to that level. A defibrillator will shock the heart similar to an external shock from a paramedic or er doc in a situation of cardiac arrest or sudden cardiac death. This is most lilely the situation you are referring to.
