Well the limit is somewhere here:
- 28–20 °C (your body would start to give up ) - Heart rate, respiratory rate and blood pressure would fall to dangerous levels. Multiple organs'd fail and clinical death (heart stops beating and breathing ceases) would soon occur.
But:
- There is a wide scope for variation between individuals. Swedish media reports the case of a seven year old girl recovering from hypothermia of 13°C
