By this I assume you mean they succumbed to hypothermia and dropped into a coma and died.
Some people get asthmatic in cold weather (like myself). If this was the case, the OP would probably already know this. You can probably beat this with a drag on an inhaler before heavy exercising. In my case, OTC Primatene Mist does the trick. Sometimes I have to take a second hit along the way so I keep it in my jacket.
Some people have coughing fits afterward in cold weather. I get this early in the season, but I'm conditioned now so I don't experience it anymore.
