Froze to death? How awful! I hope this wasn’t a tough love lockout situation or a kid too scared to come home after a fight with parents, breaking curfew, etc.

This is so sad.

I know there was snow and everything, but it's really not that cold. I'm worried there is more to this story. Ugh, poor kid and poor family.

There had to have been drinking involved no?

It diesn’t have To be freezing to die of hypothermia. I think you can die at 45 degrees for a certain number of hours.

Yes, but assuming someone was relatively appropriately dressed -- maybe jeans and a sweatshirt -- a young healthy person should be OK. But, maybe he got kicked out of his house in PJs, or had some drug/alcohol involvement, or was injured and couldn't move. I just think there is more going on than being outside.

No. Overnight (7-8 hours) last night (30s), a healthy person in a sweatshirt and jeans wouldn’t be ok.

I have Raynaud's syndrome and would have frozen to death in jeans and a sweatshirt overnight. Probably in a coat and gloves as well!

I'm very sorry for this poor child and his family.

Np. There has to be more information. A healthy person would do things to stay warm and generate body heat. Incapacitated, via alcohol or something else, or some other added cause of death. Sad no matter how you look at it, however.
