Found in a creek--probably in the throes of hypothermia (which brings about a sensation of being overheated) and he was trying to cool off. Victims of "freezing to death" are often found naked.

I can't stand how many people on these threads confuse "hypo" with "hyper."

There are NO examples of people dying of "hypothermia" throwing their clothes off!!!

I'm ready to scream...hypothermia is when you're cold. Hyperthermia is when you're hot.

People...PLEASE get a clue!!!

NOBODY with hypothermia throws off his clothes!!!

He was throwing off his daughter's skirt, etc., to leave a trail.

Please don't be so ignorant!!!!
