What if it was Lee that had a heart attack? And you were Kenny making the decision? Lilly wants to revive. Larry says crush his head. Would you still crush his head without considering Clem? Who was like a daughter to him?
2) I figured that we probably had a little time to at least try some CPR. I mean, it would take a few minutes for Larry's brain to die from lack of oxygen, so we should be safe to administer at least a minute or two of vigorous CPR before we really need to put him down.
Except that the moment he had the heart attack the clock was already ticking, a few minutes had already passed during then moment Kenny/Lee and Lilly were talking about what do with Larry so there certainly wasn't enough time, not to risk the lives of everyone else.
3) I was thinking that Kenny could stand ready with something to put Larry down right away if he turned. While I was doing CPR he could find something and wait.
What? A salt lick? They weigh a ton as it is so to hold for an extra length of time was pushing it. Plus Kenny did what he did of fear in that moment. If he had somehow been able to hold it ready to drop on Larry, what if Larry turned, grabbed Lilly/Lee and bit them before Kenny even had chance to react? I dunno. I wouldn't have done that anyway.
4) Also, the characters at this point aren't even 100% sure that Larry will turn. All they have to go on is that one guy turning even though Ben says he wasn't bitten, and Ben's claim that everyone turns. The word of some random stranger isn't exactly solid proof that Larry would turn. I mean, obviously we know he will, but if you're trying to make in-character decisions it's something to consider.
Well that's not entirely true actually. Katjaa states that she didn't find any bites when she was fixing David/Travis up. She says that depending on what Lee says after Ben reveals that people turn when they just die if you don't kill the brain. So based on this, the group did know that you turn when you die and that's its not just the bite that does it.
I chose to help Lilly give Larry CPR for a few reasons.
1) Killing Larry would make Lilly hate you, and I didn't want her trying to murde… morer me in my sleep if we somehow got out of that situation. Making some sort of effort to save him first would make that less likely, I thought.

It would be different, Larry is an asshole. So no tears were shed for him.
