It seems below about ~80F you lose consciousness. This kid was nearly half that. Moreover, there have been other similar cases: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32482520/

Interestingly, the case report notes that "classic cardiac electrical activity" started once the patient reached 82°F.

FWIW, I got the 80F figure from the table at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypothermia#Classification
Problem is that he could have drowned at 16:43.
