The FBI is now assisting ALEA in the investigation to find out what actually happened to Mitchell.
The average person’s body temperature is 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit, and Dr. Crawford said once you hit 95 degrees Fahrenheit, you are hypothermic.
“That is when you start getting so cold that your heart stops to work,” Crawford said. “Your body is not giving enough blood supply to other organs, your organs are shutting down, and that usually is what kills someone. Usually, your heart and your lungs are the first things that cause problems that result in death.”
Crawford said hypothermia usually happens from being in cold outdoor conditions without proper clothes or falling in a freezing body of water. He said doctors can warm someone back up, with blankets and warming saline solution, but the lower your core temperature gets, the harder it is to save you.Crawford said it would take hours inside a refrigerator to get hypothermia, but he said inside a freezer, someone could freeze to death.
“If his core temperature was truly 72 degrees, he was in a freezer,” Crawford said. “72, that’s cold cold. You don’t have enough processes to fight a freezer that is set to go to zero degrees Celsius. Had they left him in there longer, he would have eventually gotten down to zero degrees Celsius.” As of now, there is not any proof that Anthony Mitchell was placed inside a freezer. The doctor’s note in the lawsuit said the cause of his hypothermia is not clear. The Walker County Sheriff’s office has declined to comment.
