Every first aid training I've ever gone to has said that the brain starts to die after 3 minutes without oxygen.
However people can survive for longer without damage under various sets of circumstances including hypersaturating themselves with oxygen (as in the case of free divers) or in conditions of extreme cold, which seems to preserve the body better if anything happens.

After a person stops breathing, the oxygen level in thier blood begins to fall. After approximately 4 minutes, the level is so low that the brain, and other organs begin to be damaged.

3-4 minutes for damage to start, but up to 20 minutes max, depending on the cause of the oxygen starvation and the environment.
After 20 minutes do not resusitate. Your victim will be a cabbage.
