Chilly ghosts--can they actually freeze a Sim to death??

Ghosts that die occasionally get 'powers' from how they died.

Spoiler

Anger - May give nearby Sims a small angry Moodlet (+1) with +2 for the Ghost.
Cow Plant - When angry, they can Decay a plant and cause it to grow weeds and lose water, possibly killing a plant that was already in bad shape.
Drowning - May cause pools of water to appear.
Electrocution - When angry, they may break electronics by possessing them. They can also shock Sims for a laugh.
Embarrassment - May give nearby Sims a small embarrassed Moodlet, with +2 for the Ghost.
Fire - May set fires at times, in random places. When player controlled, click the ground while angry to start a fire (may only work on the home lot).
Hunger - Will often eat in the middle of the night
Laughter - May give nearby Sims a small playful Moodlet, +1 for others, +2 for the Ghost.
Old Age/Overexertion - They just tend to chill when acting autonomously.
Sauna - Like the death-by-hunger Sim, except they strongly desire a cool-off. Because of this, they can near-instantly absorb puddles from the ground as opposed to mopping them.

Two new 'powers' came with seasons: Ghosts that died via freezing to death unlock the interaction 'cool down sim' and ghosts that died via overheating unlock the 'warm up sim' interaction. Both interactions are under the friendly button so I think the idea is that ghosts would only do this if a sim requires it. i.e. if a sim is freezing, a ghost might warm them up.

However if the warm up interaction is done during a heatwave, it can cause a sims death. Likewise with the cool down interaction being done during freezing temperatures. I don't know if ghosts do these interactions autonomously, though.

See the video here to watch both interactions.
