ELI5: If a person kills another person, only for the victim to be revived, is the first person still a murderer?

Let's say Person A really wants Person B dead and kills them (so they are legally dead), only for them to be revived by a doctor a minute later. Does that still count as a murder, because the Person B was legally dead for a period of time, or attempted murder?

'legally dead' isn't a real thing.  If they were revived, they were never actually considered dead, so it would only be seen as attempted murder.

HOWEVER in the eyes of the law, attempted murder is the same as murder.  So in that way, it is the same charge.
