Hehe
But, seriously, while the layperson often thinks that defibrillation jump starts a person's heart, in actuality it's used when the heart is suffering from a dysrhythmia. Specifically, it's used to force the heart to get its electrical pulses firing in a regular rhythm again. It's useless if the heart has actually stopped.
CPR itself is more about keeping blood flowing to the brain than anything else. And even with chest compression, there's no guarantee that a viable defibrillation rhythm will occur.
And, really, all of this is dancing around one important fact: people die for a reason. Whether it's trauma, disease, or age-related organ failure, dead bodies are dead because they can no longer sustain life. There's a reason why the vast majority of people who need CPR (which is an infusion of kinetic energy (chest compression) and often electricity (defibrillation)) still die (~37% survival rate in the best circumstances (trained professional, shockable heart rhythm, supplementary equipment, witness to ensure correctness, etc.) shortly after measures are taken, even if they're able to achieve spontaneous circulation again.
It should also be noted that CPR isn't performed on the dead, but the unresponsive.
So, yeah... how does one supply a dead body energy, and how does that revive it?
