Can alchol blood level decrease after being frozen to death?

Alcohol is removed from the body by the action of the liver and by exhalation. If the body is frozen, both of those activities stop. You could expect that a thawed specimen of blood would contain substantially the same concentration of alcohol as was present at the time of death.
