If you go outside during winter when it's very cold then you could die from hypothermia although there are several factors that can determine how the method might work and how fast or slow you get hypothermia. The temperatures should at least be below 0 degrees Celsius, the colder it is the faster hypothermia can set in, the type of clothes you wear are important, if you wear insulated clothes that are meant to keep you warm then the method might not work or at least it will take longer to get hypothermia so it's better to wear thin clothes that aren't insulated so that you get hypothermia faster, I heard that if you're wet then the process of getting hypothermia can be even faster than usual. If a person is thin then it might also help to get cold faster, while if someone is fat then it might take longer. If you go to a mountain during winter, maybe even on top of a mountain while wearing very thin clothes, like only a shirt and trousers, and if no one finds and saves you then you'll most likely die from hypothermia, depending on how cold it is symptoms of it can start to happen in just a few hours. I think the biggest downside or risk to this method is frostbite, you'll most likely get frostbite if temperatures are very low and if you don't cover the areas where frostbite happens, if someone finds you before you die then you'll suffer the consequences from that along with other health problems that can happen from hypothermia, that's why it's very important to not be found and saved by anyone, for this you should go to a remote place where there aren't many people that usually go there, that's why the top of a mountain can make the method more effective. It probably doesn't have to be Everest mountain, it can be one with lower altitudes, a mountain with an altitude of 2000 meters should be enough. If the temperatures are at least below 0 degrees, if they reach -10 degrees Celsius or even lower, if it's windy and if you have very thin clothes then hypothermia should set in pretty fast.

This method can be done in a city or outside of a city as well, it doesn't have to be necessarily on a mountain but it depends on how cold it can get in the city you do it and as I said before, it's very important to not be found and saved by someone.

I know it's not a peaceful method since you have to endure very cold temperatures until you die but few methods are peaceful, many methods have their own levels of pain or discomfort so it depends on each person on what method they prefer and on what they have accesible to them. I don't think it's necessarily a painful death, I think there are other much more painful or brutal ways of dying than this but I know that it can be very uncomfortable to endure all that cold until you die. It's not really about how peaceful it is but about accesiblity, if you're in a place where it gets cold outside during winter or if you can go to a place where it gets very cold then this method is pretty accesible and not very difficult to do. Obviously you have to be determined to do this method, like many other methods if you start this then there's no going back so you have to be sure you want to die. Many people from all around the world died from hypothermia so that's proof that the method can work.

What do you think about this and what other things could make the method work in your opinion?

The hard part will be when you survive and have lost parts of your body to frostbite. Just ask Beck Weathers, the guy who survived the terrible blizzard at 27,000 feet on Mount Everest in 1996. Blinded and left for dead, he lost consciousness but miraculously found his way down to Camp IV but lost his nose, right hand and multiple fingers on his left hand.

Our bodies have an incredible survival instinct that is difficult to overcome and I certainly want you to think about it before attempting this.

If you don't have the level of resolve of an awakened sage, you will eventually seek warmth and shelter before you die of cold. And depending on how long that takes,

If you lived in the UK, you could go out onto the moors in the middle of winter and deliberately lose your way
Similarly, there's a lot of wilderness in parts of the USA where you could disappear.

Would it be a pleasant death? Probably not.

It depends if you really want to die or not, if we keep overthinking like this about the survival instinct, about the downsides of every method and what could go wrong if we fail then we'll never kill ourselves, we have to take action and do a method if we really want to die, no matter what method it is. I heard about that case but that man probably had clothes that could keep him warm enough to survive and if I'm not mistaken he was inside a tent during the blizzard, so that might have increased his chances of survival. What about all the people from all around the world who died from hypothermia, be it on top of mountains, in forests, in cities? If so many people died from this then the method can work. As I said in my original post, it depends on several factors how the method will work and how fast someone can get hypothermia

I reckon that if you're determined, you can accomplish it.
