There are two frozen accidents I recall in which both women survived. One the (twenty-sonething-year-old?) lady was walking home but was getting too cold and couldn’t make it so stopped at a friend’s house but couldn’t make it to the door, or she was knocking & ringing doorbell and nobody answered, something like that. She froze to death in the front yard, all living processes ceased, but her body froze in such a way that when she was found the next day & taken to the hospital, thawed, her bodily processes began to resume and she made a full recovery with no lasting effects from the trauma.
Similar outcome experienced by some other lady who fell through the ice in a frozen lake.
These incidents are not uncommon, but they are not “frozen” accidents as in frozen = turned to ice. They are freezing accidents as in freezing = dying from cold.
Our heart stops at a body temperature of mid 20° C. At this temperature, our brain survives cardiac arrest for several hours instead of 6 min like at 37° C. That’s why the window for reanimation is several hours when your freezing, and why surgeons uses artificial hypothermia during heart surgery, and why no one’s dead until warm and dead.
If a body freezes < 0° C and needs to be actually thawed, the tissue is too damaged to recover.
There is a large difference between “freezing to death” in common language and being cryogenically stored (frozen solid). The lowest core body temperature on record of someone surviving an event like that with no deficits is slightly over 50F/11C.
no no there was some girl that froze herself in one of these cryo chamber bullshit at a very young age. she was kinda famous until the day she froze herself. People were asking her “why she was doing this” all the time.

Frozen cells get torn apart from ice crystals.
That’s why they say you ain’t dead til you’re warm and dead

Oh that’s crazy, look it up and Link it for us. If she was famous, wonder why I haven’t heard about it, I’m interested. Did she survive, or no?
I’ll try to look for it but I doubt I’ll find it.
