Man survives two months in snow covered car

 Man survives two months in snow covered car
Man was found alive in this car after apparently sitting in it for the past two months.

Some people on their snowmobiles came across what appeared to be abandoned car under a huge pile of snow, but on closer inspection they realised a man was inside. Peter Skyllberg had reportedly been inside the vehicle since the 19th December in temperatures as low as -30 degrees Celsius.

Any of you that may have spent the night in your car may know it can get pretty cold. But the man did manage to survive by wrapping himself inside a sleeping bag and drinking the melted snow. But it is thought that he did not manage to eat anything during the ordeal.

It is therefore remarkable that he managed to survive so long without food, not to mention the freezing temperatures. Experts believe it is possible for the human body to survive without food for up to two months.

I'm curious as to what led him out there and why was he stuck? Car broke down? Ran out of gas? He had sleeping bags but no food? Seems like a hoax or some guy trying to get attention.

After 2 hours from your last meal the body goes into starvation mode slowing metabolism down, I really have to take this with a pinch of salt for being trapped in this car, unles its Bear Grylles inside (don't quote my spelling)
