Koohii stories:

1) [abaddon] 8-6-2008(22): Grow late, life: It had nearly grown too late to resucitate the half-drowned man, but a passer-by was able to breath life back into him, thus resucitating him.

2) [mantixen] 2-8-2009(10): To breathe life into someone after it might have grown (too) late is to resuscitate them.

3) [Shakunatz] 10-2-2011(4): 蘇る：死んだものが蘇る。 甦る：衰えたものが甦る。 However that's just a nuance found on the net. Just few dictionaries mentioned it. To breathe life into someone after it might have grown (too) late is to resuscitate them. Edit Mantixen.

4) [jotakami] 10-5-2011(2): Just found this kanji while playing FF7: the name of the Revive materia is 甦生 in Japanese. As such, I would replace the keyword with revive. And, in any case, it's misspelled: resuscitate.

5) [shrimpster] 28-11-2012(1): For those of you who watch Dexter: It had almost grown too late for young Hannah, but a fisherman jumped in and saved her life by resuscitation while her father stood on the sidelines.
