People totally come back from being medically dead for minutes. There's a bit of a spectrum of how much brain damage the person will suffer due to lack of oxygen before they can't be revived anymore.
Also, even if souls do exist, there's no compelling reason to think that they have anything to do with the body living. We have figured out numerous ways to keep a person from dying or to bring them back shortly thereafter, and every one of them involves acting on the person's body and not their soul. We don't have soul defibrillators.

No. Should I believe in souls?
