[The Old Man]

A couple of years ago Adam had one die from it, we caught her after dark and they had all swam a big creek multiple times that day but when we caught her she was wet and acted a little cold but not abnormal. We put her in the front of  an open sided stock trailer with the rest of them, they were mostly dry. We drove 12 or 14 miles home and she didn't act right, didn't want to get up or come out of the trailer. Adam took her to her house and tried to feed her she didn't eat but wallowed in her house and was dead the next morning. I believe she was near hypothermic when we caught her and the cold ride home finished the job, then once she started to warm up the cold blood from her extremities came to her heart it killed her. That is how a person can die from it if they are warmed too fast.
