My great uncle hopped a northward bound freight train here in sweden in the 30's. It turned out to get very cold on that freight car and there was nowhere to get off. They froze horribly and he got pneumonia from it and died.

"Death strips away everything that is not true, not eternal and not immortal, often in a very strange and violent way. If your truth is in words and myths, just mind truth, you are in trouble, because your mind dies and you do not. If you know the present, the truth and the life, you will recognize it and embrace it, be it, no matter what it is."- The Present. Are you ready to face death? Go to the truthcontest website and open the present for insights on how to prepare for this deadly fate.
