The value of 98.6 °F is actually based on very old study from the 1800s which has been misinterpreted. The accepted normal range today for oral temperature is 98.2±1.3 °F, thus temperatures as low as 96.9 °F are normal. Hypothermia, the medical condition of low body temperature, is defined as core temperature of 95 °F or lower. At this point, the body will take actions aggressive action such as shivering to increase temperature. More extreme hypothermia will result in loss of muscle function and eventually shutdown of vital organs resulting in death. The attached link contains more detailed information on the stages of hypothermia.
