A "deadbeat" is a person who does not pay his debts, often extended to mean a loafer, vagrant, or non-productive individual.

The term is extended by analogy to a father ("deadbeat dad") who fails to properly provide financial support to his biological children. More specifically, one who does not provide this support and is therefore in violation of a court ruling requiring it.

CPR is not meant to revive some one. They were pronounced dead because they had CPR performed on them and had a defibrillator used on them and they still did not regain a heart beat.
