I think there is that procedure where they "iced" you, kinda like preserving your body but you're still alive. However, out in the open, frostbite happens and extreme cold could really lead to death. But yes, I agree that there's a little possibility that he survived despite the odds.Charlyt wrote: ↑02 Apr 2019, 00:21 I think that it could be plausible. Correct me if I'm wrong, but at a certain cold temperature the heart slows down enough that it seems like it's barely beating at all. Kind of like the person is hibernating. But I'm sure there are other factors involved like how cold the temperature should be or how fast the cold takes over your body. But I think there's a certain amount of possibility there.

That being said, I was very glad William was alive. He was a character that kept other people who were stranded going, and he was so brave to go try to get help. Also, he had so many people at home who cared about him and wanted him to return. Sarah's optimism, in particular, kept me hopeful.

I have always been taught that the longer people stay in place for long, it is more they adapt. It is something that happens in nature which could explain why William survived since he had been born here. This assertion, therefore, is true and valid.briellejee wrote: ↑05 Apr 2019, 04:10 It was plausible. William is both mentally and physically strong. His experience back then in their hikes could probably be the reason why he was able to survive in the end. However, my nerdy side believes that hypothermia is rapid and that his time out there could have probably killed him. But we never knew how he managed to survive, so there must be something that he did.
