...how long could they survive?

Depends.
If they were believed to be limp, there's a variety of physiological influences to consider. Some people have be known to survive, but it's rather more likely that somebody surrounded by a state of inactivity with a low enough heart rate to be mistaken for unconscious, locked in cold storage, would die.
Our morgue is kept at 32 degrees F, and has more than adequate freshening. It would depend on your body fat and clothing. Our ancestors lived outdoors in winters far colder than that.
not long as they would freeze to death, similar to in the south/north poles, unless they had plenty of warm cloths and food
probably not long as i doubt theres much air, they'd probably have a heart attack from the stress of the claustrophobic conditions and the coldness would probably only just kill them.
PLUS no food, water.
