I lost my dad last week to this exact same event. My parents live in the country, and my elderly mother didn't have the training (or lack of panic) to attempt CPR. Although members of the local volunteer fire department were on site within 7 minutes with an AED, I'm actually quite comforted in the knowledge that there never really was any hope for him. One of the few nice things about vfib is that it's quick and painless, and the grim survival statistics mean that there wasn't really anything that could have been done differently in my dad's case.
