If one's heart has stopped, the person has gone into cardiac arrest.  I think most people who go into cardiac arrest are unconscious.  Therefore they are unable to turn off their HV supply and shock themselves.

So this whole thing is a ludicrous and non-sensical senario after all regardless of what positive effect and HV discharge might have!
