HOLD UP: how the fuck did he actually die?

It strains credulity he just "passed away" from hypothermia while sleeping, in a trailer, with his family present.

I routinely sleep with a window open. Just shorts, sometimes a shirt too. Cold fronts have come over night dropping my inside room temperature to below 45F which wakes me up to close the window and get more bedding.

Was he sedated? No one in the trailer snuggled?

There's a whole lot not being told here.

And how did the toddler next to him remain alive? I would assume the toddler's body temperature would drop more quickly then his. Sad all around for that little boy, but I'm not sure we're getting the whole story.

Exactly. The adults had to have abandoned their kid for this to happen. They are more likely to be charged with criminal charges of endangerment or homicide than they are likely to get a dollar out of the power companies.

There were so many shelters with heat that they could have put their kids in. And lots of ways of getting heat.
