TOKYO (AP) — A man who went missing in western Japan survived in wintry weather without food and water for over three weeks by falling into a state of "hibernation," doctors said.
Mitsutaka Uchikoshi had almost no pulse, his organs had all but shut down and his body temperature was a chilly 71 degrees Fahrenheit when he was discovered on Rokko mountain in late October, 24 days after he went missing in the area, according to doctors who treated him at the nearby Kobe City General Hospital.
I've often wondered, can we induce this type of thing on purpose?
