It's a corpse of a statue, not of a creature. Raise dead requires a dead creature, not simply inert flesh. Animate dead requires the corpse to have bones at the very least, but the corpse is simply flesh without bones as bones are not flesh.

Adding a vital force to a statue turned flesh simply implants a soul into inert flesh. You would have to design the statue as a golem or other automata that is designed to not be inert for it to do anything.
