I guess embalming the body would be redundant...

It's not one of those suspended animation places. It's a cold therapy place for living people. Seems weird the machine doesn't have a timer or something.

Actually quite strange someone can get caught in it. Commercial freezers ie have a bit latch that you just hit with your hand and out you go. Suicide? Murder?

I've read that freezing to death is one of the easiest ways to go. Perhaps the cold overcame her w/o her realizing it. Minus 240 is cold.

I've heard it's a humane way to kill a pet fish. Not personally how I want to go but much quicker than freezing outside. Maybe she just went in for a session and fell asleep/passed out. Does seem like there should be a timer though I mean the article states 3min max why the machine could run for 10hrs idk.
