No I have never personally witnessed someone dying from hypothermia. I AM an avid skier who has taken courses in both rescue and avalanche survival and thought I would have heard about this though. Weird. Maybe I wasn't paying attention when this came up.

At any rate, I assume you're talking about SLOW hypothermia as in the an above freezing or a water scenario. I would think a below freezing scenario, frost bit etc., would set in diminishing the desire or ability to take one's clothes off.
