Fantastic story - thanks for sharing with us. I am constantly amazed at the true cold water drownings that people have survived because of the reduced demands on the body. Fascinating - thanks again for sharing - sometimes we all need a "warm fuzzy" like this to remind us why we do this job. Take care and always stay safe.

Wow. A core temp of 56 degrees and she survived? Incredible.

Thus, the old adage- they are never dead until they are warm and dead.
