Die from hypothermia (cold)
- As hypothermia advances, the body numbs and a final sense of euphoric warmth sets in — the process is widely described as ending peacefully.
- Cold progressively dulls pain receptors before the fatal stage, making the experience comparatively painless once numbness takes hold.
- Many people find extreme heat far more subjectively intolerable than cold, making hypothermia the more acceptable option on a personal comfort basis.
