At 40 degrees and rain can you get far enough into hypothermia to feel hot and take off your clothes?

At 40 degrees and rain can you get far enough into hypothermia to feel hot and take off your clothes? Yes. The brain goes numb and the body feels hot. They shed clothes to cool off because the brain isn't functioning right.

Another college party claims a student who made poor choices and paid the ultimate price. Parents can only do so much. There is a small percentage that will be succumb to irresponsible
actions every year.

Thanks for the update. I have been following this case but didn't see any reports in the last 3 days.
Sad story, I have been real drunk, and even high at more than one college party. More than one. It is what college boys do.
Body out in the woods for 7 days, can you do a toxicology report or would the dope and booze have disintegrated?

Hypothermia starts to kick in when your body temperature gets to about 95 degrees. I would venture to say that more people die of "exposure" (cold related) in wet temperatures above 60 degrees than they do in temperatures below 60 degrees.

Cause of death: Stupidity. This.

Not only a less than minimally educated person, but stupid and out of touch as well.

I grew up in that town and know that area well. There are trails there, but that "swamp" given all the recent rain, is basically uncrossable. On the other side, a golf course and major highway. Then he came back across it a second time. Either clueless due to hypothermia/booze/drugs or something weird happened.
