Meet The Woman Who Was Frozen For Six Hours
The story of a woman who survived being frozen for 6 hours
Four decades ago a young woman had her body frozen for almost 6 hours, in a small town in Minnesota, in the United States! The most amazing thing about this situation is that the woman survived!
Hilliard had been declared a medical miracle by doctors after she recovered from being frozen for six hours in subzero temperatures of -22 degrees centigrade.
On the night of Dec. 20, 1980, 19-year-old Jean Hilliard's car hit the ditch. She tried to walk for help. She was found in the morning in the front yard of a local cattle rancher — frozen solid as a log.
She was so frozen that her skin could not be pierced by hypodermic needles — the needles just broke on contact.
Her body temperature was so low that it didn’t register on a thermometer.
Her face was an ashen-gray color and her eyes didn’t respond to changes in light.
Even though the medical staff thought she was dead, they decided to gradually warm up her body with heating pads. Eventually, they got a faint pulse of 12 beats per minute.
Here is the story
40 years ago a woman was frozen for almost 6 hours and managed to survive! This is the amazing story of Jean Hilliard, who at the age of 19, on a cold December night in 1980, in the small town of Lengby, Minnesota, in the United States, crashed her car into a ditch and, trying to get help, ended up freezing!
Young Jean crashed her car on her way back to her parents' home after a night out. Dressed in a winter coat, thin gloves and cowboy boots, she walked for about 3 kilometres in a temperature of -30ºC to ask a friend who lived in the region for help. However, at a certain moment, Jean stumbled and lost consciousness. Her body was left in the cold for six hours, leaving her frozen.

The case of the young woman who survived after being frozen for six hours at -30°C is still a mystery to this day!

In the morning, her friend Wally Nelson found Jean's body a few metres from the door of his house, slumped over the garden, and quickly picked her up and put her inside his house. "I thought she was dead. She froze stiffer than a board, but I saw some bubbles coming out of her nose," Nelson would report years later in an interview with Minnesota Public Radio.
"The body was cold, completely solid, like a frozen piece of meat," said George Sather, the doctor who treated Jean at the city hospital.
Wally then quickly took Jean to the hospital, as the young woman seemed unresponsive to stimuli. Upon arrival at the hospital, her face was pale, eyes wide and solid and her skin was very hard, so much so that the doctors were unable to place an IV in her frozen arm, breaking several needles. Jean had a body temperature close to 27ºC, 10 degrees below the normal temperature of a healthy person
Despite the serious situation and little hope of survival, the doctors quickly began to warm her up with heating pads (material available at the time in that hospital) and in just a few hours her body returned to a normal state, with only a few numb toes and blisters.
Soon after, Jean was conscious and speaking coherently, and was discharged soon afterwards to lead a normal life, as she lives to this day. Today Jean lives in Cambridge, Minnesota, with no issues or health problems as a result of what happened. Her only restriction, according to herself, is that she no longer drives on ice covered roads at night.
