So the guy went into a state of hibernation, okay that's pretty messed up. And this, "This is a case in a lifetime. Every winter we have people who have frozen to death. But a case like this, with someone caught outside for such a long time, is very rare, because it's very rare that you are not missed by anyone, which seems to be the case in this instance" , well that's just sad.
I'm guessing he's a regular of Freeones Talk.
