Stunned but still alive and Paul revived him, or dead and Paul resurrected him?

Eutychus fell from a third-story window. Yes, he was young and "flexible" but I figure he very likely died from his fall. Hey, three stories and probably landed on hard-packed soil. Luke, a medical doctor and eyewitness, pronounced Eutychus dead. Okay, he was dead. Did Paul raise him from the dead? No, it was the power of God within Paul that gave Eutychus life.

"This gives us encouragement. How often do we fall prey to temptation and drift off spiritually? And yet, God resurrects us and puts us back on our mission." https://www.biblestudytools.com/bible-study/topical-studies/eutychus-death-and-resurrection-story.html

WG's reply is a good one. Either E was dead and then restored to life, or he managed to fall three stories, look dead, but then get up and walk back up into the meeting. One way or the other, it's the hand of God at work.
