Freezing to death’s a pleasant form of death... luckily these ISIS types are too stupid and provincial to ‘know’ that...
For some of the killers it might have been their first ‘high’ - very much like being ‘happy drunk’ without the excesses of alcohol.
Burning to death by fire is the worst of all as you suffer unspeakable pain all over until you pass out from shock.
A person suffering from severe hypothermia gets achingly cold, shivers uncontrollably for a bit, then suddenly feels just fine again. Drowsiness descends and thinking becomes muddled, your mind craves to take a short nap...
Exactly.
Got real close to hypothermia once - shivering had stopped and I was getting really drowsy. Other men in the unit were already falling asleep. Realized what was happening, got up and ran around a bit. Thankfully, villagers opened up the school and we were able to get inside to change out of wet clothes into dry ones.
