Let’s say a person’s heart suddenly stops beating. If left unassisted, how long would it take before said person became officially dead?

Official declaration has to wait at least 30 minutes; sometimes even more. If CPR is started within 4 minutes, good recovery is possible, provided the status of the heart and vital organs are good. CPR has to be supplemented by advanced cardiac life support within about 12 minutes.
it's not so much as what is considered as dead. it's what it considered brain dead. the body a lot of times can be brought back, the brain will be damaged from what I was tought in school, in about 3-4 min.
7 minutes. CPR may help to keep blood flow to the brain!
