eli5 why can’t we just revive a cadaver with electricity?

every organ and system in your body is alive and requires a constant steady supply of oxygen to function. once respiration stops decay starts to set in rapidly and things begin to break down and atrophy. when a body has been dead for a day and not preserved in some way, most organs and structures have already broken down beyond repair.
think of it this way. go to junk lot and find a car with an engine with missing pieces, no tires, and all sorts of other unknown damages. put some gas in it. why won’t it start? same reasons, critical pieces are now broken or missing parts.
