Best Answer

If someone has frostbite, which means that their flesh is frozen, the expanded ice crystals inside the cells of the skin, muscle, blood vessels, etc will grate together and break down the cell walls if you rub it.

Think about taking a frozen cut of meat, then rubbing a corner of it. The tissue would begin to break down, you would eventually end up with a pulpy mass.

If you think you have frostbite, get medical attention to save the toe/limb/frozen area.

Since the cells are frozen, rubbing the skin causes worse damage to the area.

Why would you be asked to turn over a power of attorney for someone who is deceased if you never received it in the first place?

A Power of Attorney is extinguished upon the death of the principal. If you have a POA document in your possession the estate can ask that you turn it over so you won't try to access the decedent's records or accounts. If you have such a document then turn it over. If you don't have it then just notify the executor you never received it from the decedent.
