Can you die from hot water?

2 things that I can think of:

1) The essential oils on your skin begin to rinse off, allowing water to soak into your skin. That's why you get "pruny-looking" fingers when your hands are wet for long periods of time.

2) Your body temperature drops, depending on the temperature of the water - I'm assuming a temperate river would be somewhere between 60-75 degrees Fahrenheit. The colder the water, the faster you lose heat.
