If a person is left out in the elements, how long will it take them to die?

The person is in fairly good health. Age 30.

The temperature during the day is in the mid 70s while at night it is in the low 60s.

Will it be a quick death or a slow one?

  1. They could live indefinitely if they are able to find food and water.  Without water it would be about 7 days to dehydration death.  Without food it would take weeks or even months if sufficient water sources are found.


  2. I would imagine it would be a slow death, if you don't eat and only drink water when you find it,it would be miserable!

  3. I think it would be a slow one, and the heat level is not that much to make the person collapse, but that is a strange question. Why did you post it online?
