Depending on the circumstance of the injury, shock can involve sudden drop in body temperature due to organ damage or blood loss. Too much drop in body temperature (below 95 degrees) can lead to hypothermia, which can result in death. This is more of a cause for concern the colder it is outside because the lower the temperature outside, the more rapid the loss of heat. The other concern is that our bodies are good at regulating their temperature. Until they're badly damaged and can't operate properly.
