How long does someone usually freeze to death if they are pushed into a river in the winter?
<|assistant|>
It depends on the river and the ambient temperature, but someone who has been pushed into a river in the winter can typically expect to freeze to death within hours if they are not rescued. As the body cools, its metabolic rate slows, making the victim increasingly lethargic and less responsive. In severe cases, the victim may even lose consciousness and die due to hypothermia.
