Well, technically, you're not going to go on more than thirty seconds or so after the heart stops beating, simply because you're not pumping oxygen to your brain. And it doesn't matter how many different drugs you are on if your brain dies. But you can take a lot of damage elsewhere and still go on if you have enough chemical persuasion, naturally or otherwise. :)
