Just another thought. I've read that on average it takes about 6 minutes to die from suffocation (contingent on lung capacity, depth of last breath taken, physical health of subject).
What I think a lot of people have overlooked is the fact that even if 911 was called immediately or someone drove to the house immediately, Johnny and Lisa would have still passed away.
Every minute CPR is not administered after a heart has stopped results in a 10% lower chance of survival. That would mean that in approximately 16 minutes, Johnny & Lisa had virtually one chance of survival. There are, however, cases in which there have been exceptions to the rule, but again, they're exceptions, not the rule.
