I think JKR made Sirius's death difficult to accept in order to 
engage the readers in Harry's struggle to accept it. To bring 
Sirius back to life would make that struggle pointless, besides 
ruining the  mystery plot -- there's got to be a reason JKR was  
vague about the spell that struck Sirius and where it came from.
