Russian 'Iceman' Can't Stand The Heat

A Russian man who suffers from a rare disorder that means his body easily overheats has been divorced after moving to Siberia and turning his house into a fridge.

Vitaly Matyukhin, from Arkhangelsk, converted his new home into a fridge after being told by doctors that he was suffering from a "heat exchange disorder".

The condition means he risks overheating if exposed to anything over five degrees Celsius. But after Matyukhin converted his home his wife and their son walked out, saying they could no longer stand the cold.

The condition started after the man was taken to hospital suffering from heat stroke, which according to doctors upset his body's internal method of regulating his body temperature.

He said he now only ever leaves his house late at night in winter when the temperature drops below freezing.
