In an autopsy, the dead person's heart is cut open, and re-filled with blood to start up their circulation again. This was perfected in 1998 by Dr Malcolm Tesarovic on James Willis, who had stopped breathing 20 minutes earlier. The operation was a success but Willis died of pneumonia 10 days later.
