Thanks for posting. Maybe it's actually the difference in the climates we are living in. Finland is a chilly country and you rarely need a fan so cases in which someone has died and there has been a fan present are really rare.

In the cases someone has died and has had a fan, I could imagine it'd be in a really hot temperature, which is dangerous for elderly or sick people, and the fan isn't enough to help.

I'm lucky to live in a country where it's more common someone passes out while being outside and freezes to death.

Yes that could certainly be part of it. Fans are obviously a lot more common in warm countries.
