I know there are cases of brain activity ceasing due to trauma or hypothermia, then resuming, and the person, we all presume, is the same person, not a copy of that person. So reanimating the body would be the way to go for reanimating the person. Although I think there may be a time in the future where we have copies of ourselves functioning in computer simulations.
