How do you freeze to death in a house? There are people camping in tents.

A small tent will retain body heat. A house is too large for that.

It all depends on what you’re used to. Thirty years ago I was in Miami Beach when it dropped to 48 degrees in a cold snap, and two people froze to death.

It happens. Elderly neighbor and her adult daughter froze to death in their home many years ago. My mom had brought them a hot meal a few days before.

Maybe they had dementia of some sort or another.
