Best Answer

Loss of heat from body (i.e body temperature declining) due to some phenomena such as being submerged in ice-cold water slows down the heart rate. Many a times people have drowned in frozen ponds and have yet remained alive for hours because the chemical reactions in the body slow down at low temperatures. [It is a general rule that all chemical reactions are usually slower at lower temperatures due to less kinetic energy.]
