He wasn't dead long enough for there to be cell death, decomposition. His heart just stopped is all and you can bring someone back from that. Elizabeth fainted from the drop in her own blood pressure after that massive blood transfer and the doctors were there to bring her back around.
According to the dialogue on the episode the hospital staff tried defibrillating him and that didn't work. They quoted time of death at 1:34. So he was dead with no chance of bringing him back.
I think that when the hospital staff quoted the time of death they were giving up on him. It means that the hospital staff used all available resources they had. It doesn't mean he was dead for ever..I mean that someone with a different knolowdge could have tried something different, like Elizabeth did. Sean wasn't dead 3 or four days. It was just seconds after the hospital staff quoted the time. Our medicine is very good, but it is not perfect.
I researched the Web about real cases like that and found an article about the Lazarus syndrome. One of the sentences in the article:
Quote:
The decision to discontinue resuscitation was taken after 25 minutes of timed resuscitation when the patient was still asystolic and pulseless with no respiratory effort. The time of death was noted verbally.
The team leader was then called to see another patient and about a minute later the A&E sister noted a rhythm on the monitor and a palpable radial pulse. The first systolic blood pressure recorded was 140. Assisted ventilation was restarted and the patient was transferred to the intentsive care unit.

Just to explain myself here. I am not justifying the writers or saying I am sure Sean wasn't dead. I am saying that the writers got to the limit of explaining this happening with no use of magic. That is why we have opinions that Sean was dead, like yours. But we still can try to explain that Sean resurrection was something like Lazarus syndrome. He still had a chance because Elizabeth acted in the final last second.
My point is that if the writers stop on Sean, ok... It is a subject for some debates... If the writers resurrect another character apparently using magic again, this line will be crossed and everything will possible.
