RD BK - IN NY UIME OF EYING 

The reason for the convulsive shaking that had taken over my body was hypothermia—low body temperature. People with hypothermia slur their words, fail to make sense, can’t comprehend what is happening, and are prone to hallucinations. I was doing all those things. In end-stage hypothermia, the dying person may take off their clothes—“paradoxical undressing”—or curl up in a small, dark place, like a closet or under a bed. “Terminal burrowing,” as it is called, is thought to be initiated by a very primitive part of the brain associated with hibernating behavior in other animals.
