My cousin died from freezing to death.

Sorry for your loss. It is always tough to lose somebody in the family especially way before "getting old" and still having a lot of potential life ahead.

When I was in the road band back in the 1970s, we played about 1,000 miles north of the US border way up in Canada where temperatures could get to 70 below zero without wind chill and people in some of those small towns never shut off their cars for the duration of the winter. It was there that I learned to properly dress for such cold. The trick is to wear layered clothing rather than one big bulky jacket.

Extreme cold not only can be dangerous, it is dangerous. However, that danger can be mitigated by adhering to the practices that people who live in and have survived in that climate, have learned.

When I layer up to step out these days in our rather frigid time, I look twice my size but worth it to not freeze anything!
