If blood in a person became water, that person would become unconscious in seconds and die within a few minutes. Though the heart could pump water around in the body, the water could not absorb oxygen from the lungs. This lack of an oxygen supply would affect the brain quickly, and the affected person would black out. The heart would continue to pump, but lack of oxygen would begin killing the brain, and the heart would stop within a few minutes, followed very quickly by death.
