It's iffy, yes. If he was flash-frozen, his entire body, then ice crystals wouldn't have time to form and he could be revived.
Ah, but only HALF his body was frozen. So while his head is frozen, his right side isn't: it will die from lack of oxygen to the internal organs.
Unless they could find a way to finish flash-freezing him, he's dead one way or another.
Barring a very quick trip to a sarcophagus or Ancient healing device, the best they could do would be pop his head into liquid nitrogen and hope for revival when cloning a new body became available.
