You can technically remain conscious and in control of your body for a few seconds after your heart stops, while there's still enough oxygen in your brain and muscles. So there's nothing theoretically stopping this from happening. I don't know if this has happened at any point, but I wouldn't be surprised if it did.

    I've heard of this happening with electricians. They'll touch something energized, check their pulse, then sit down and ask somebody close by "can you call 911 and start doing cpr on me?" Before passing out.
