37 years ago, Jean Hilliard (USA) miraculously revived after being frozen for 6 hours, surprising the doctors.
On the night of December 20, 1980, in cold weather, the temperature dropped to only 22 degrees F (-30 degrees C), Jean Hilliard (19) drove from your home to his parents' home in Lengby, Minnesota. On the way, she was thrown off the road by the steering wheel, the car stopped and could not restart the machine. Meanwhile, Jean decided to walk to Wally Nelson's house - a friend, about 3.2 km away.
When walking, Jean Hilliard just wore western shoes, put on a jacket and wore gloves. The weather was cold, the clothes were not warm enough, so Jean collapsed down the road a few meters from his friend's door. Jean Hilliard lay motionless in the snow all night until about 7:00 am the next morning when Nelson was discovered and taken to an emergency. At that time, her body was as hard as a rock.

At Fosston Hospital, doctors were stunned by Jean's condition. They tried to give her emergency and intravenous nutrition but could not because the needle could not penetrate the frozen skin. Her body did not respond to any form of medical care, nor could measuring her body temperature with a thermometer. Her face and eyes were frozen, not reacting to light.
George Sather, the doctor who treated Jean, added: " Her body is frozen like a piece of meat in the freezer compartment. The limbs cannot be folded or moved. Jean's body does not have any one. any reaction in about two or three hours after the thaw begins, her heart rate only beats 8 times per minute and her body temperature is about 26 degrees Celsius ".
The doctor cannot take emergency measures with Jean's frozen body.
The doctors shook their heads helplessly, because the cells in Jean's body were completely frozen, the internal organs were also cold, making it difficult for them to perform their functions until completely stopped. Even, her brain could not save. There is no hope to save Jean's life. The only thing doctors can do is to put warm packs around the young girl to raise her body temperature, melting the ice.
But the unexpected happened, around 11:00 noon, Jean began to twitch and regain consciousness miraculously. All the doctors and everyone around her were surprised. At night, she could move her arms, and by the third day she could move her legs. Jean had to undergo medical treatment for the next 49 days but then her body recovered completely, not having to cut off even one finger.
Until now, no one could explain why or how Jean's body could fully recover after falling into such a hard freezing state for 6 hours. Jean Hilliard's case is still an unknown solution of medicine.
