During winter most worms stay in their burrows, prisoners below soil frozen hard as rock and topped by ice and snow. They are coiled into a slime-coated ball and go into a sleep-like state called estivation, which is similar to hibernation for bears. (The mucous, or slime, keeps the worms from drying out.)

That sounds like video of a frog inside melting ice, which then "comes back to life". I don't remember where I saw it.

Also, I've heard that Japanese researchers have succeeded cryogenic life sustaining of some fish.

And last but not least, there was a man got frozen, but somehow "came back to life". He was talking about his experience of being nearly dead, a state of not thinking anything, a blank mind.
