Makes sense. When treating Hypothermia, if the patient lacks pulse the saying is “The patient is not dead until he is warm and has no pulse”. The body is so amazing, how even when performing complicated surgeries, the body is chilled to preserve tissue until circulation can be restored.
This might also explain the phenomenon of cold water drowning survivals - like that toddler who fell into a cold lake and wasn’t retrieved until an hour later. As I recall, she was successfully revived using a very slow, controlled re-warming technique.
