There has been some work saying that you can preserve life by immediately removing oxygen from the cells. The theory is that the damage from death happens as the oxygen levels slowly decay, causing all sorts of damage. If you could exsanguinate a body immediately, then preserve it in an oxygen-free environment, it might have a chance of being revived. (Wish there was more news about this idea)
If that's true, perhaps future generations might view finding this guy's brain as a great tragedy, because we lost a chance to actually bring somebody back from the Iron Age.
Admittedly this is highly-speculative BS. But hey, it's the internet.
I just want to add, the subject was hanged and decapitated. For what, we'll probably never know. But just think about that with regard to bringing him back to life.
I am not convinced the people who killed this guy were particularly cautious when applying capital punishment.
But, again, nobody can be sure how good his lawyer was, since there is no written record of the criminal process that led to his execution in such... creative ways.
