It depends on how long the brain is starved of oxygen. It can lead to minor or severe brain damage which results in the person loosing the ability to walk and talk.

When your brain is deprived of oxygen for more that 3 minutes, brain cells begin to die. If oxygen is restored, the person will live but the damage remains. The damage can present in various ways, memory loss, speech problems, loss of coordination, etc. This is called an Anoxic Brain Injury. After 4-5 minutes, death usually results.

Brain cells begin to die without oxygen, and after about 4-5 minutes, all of the person dies.

Your brain cells will start to die.
The longer you go with out O2, the more will die. You do not get them back. You will have brain damage.
If you go too long without O2, you will die.
