                  Before freezing to death, people tend to remove their clothes.

Yes.

This is called “paradoxical undressing”, a phenomenon frequently seen in cases of lethal hypothermia. Shortly before death, the person will remove all their clothes, as if they were burning up, when in fact they are freezing.

When people are freezing, the most important thing is to keep the brain and vital organs functioning. So, the blood vessels at the ends of the body naturally tighten up to ensure a good blood flow to those vital organs.

After being in this stressed state for a while, the muscles handling the blood vessels get tired and need a time to "rest."

Now, the blood vessels on the body's surface open wide, making the blood rush quickly to the limbs. Suddenly, those cold limbs feel all warm, creating the illusion of being "crazy hot."

When this signal reaches the brain, it misguides the instructions, making people believe it's scorching hot, leading them to take off all their clothes.

At that point, people who are on the verge of dying get up and struggle to undress, thinking that undressing is good.
