Frozen boy survives
On February 21st, 2015, Justin Smith was found frozen and lifeless in the snow by his father. Paramedics believed he had been dead for nearly 12 hours until a doctor successfully thawed him out and oversaw his full recovery. This phenomenon, once considered a miracle, is now becoming more common with modern science. To comprehend how someone can be revived after freezing to death and the emerging field of medicine that involves intentionally freezing bodies to save them, we must first understand the effects of extreme cold on the human body.
