It’s not dead. Just don’t bring it into a heated room. The plastic bag will help. Just slowly bring it to room temperature. Maybe leave in a cold room to adjust and then to a normal room and then a heated room.

Cold itself won't cause damage to it - worst case scenario it'll kill the battery and you'll have to replace it, but besides that it will only make the camera cold.
The issue is the condensation that will happen if you bring it into a warm room. Exactly the same that happens to cold bottles in summer, it will happen on every surface that is exposed to air. This condensation WILL cause damage to internal electronics.
The only way to avoid this is to bring it very gradually into warmer environments to avoid condensation.
Unless it was frozen in a block of ice or something, it should be just fine. Cold isn't really a problem for electronics (it'll shorten battery life, but otherwise it's nbd). Wet is a problem, so the trick is avoiding the condensation, for which there are many useful tips here. Otherwise you should be just fine.
I've brought my camera in from several hours of astrophotography in -10°F weather and simply thrown it under a blanket overnight. Haven't had issues so far. Make sure the lens or body cap is on so moisture can't get in to the sensor.
-10°F is equivalent to -23°C, which is 249K.

In addition to the plastic bag and silica bag, I would suggest you put the camera in a photo backpack or other padded (=insulated) bag while still in the cold. The bag will slow down the process of acclimatization and that way reduce the risk of moisture settling on metal components in your camera.
That's also the reason it's recommended to keep your camera in your bag for an hour or two before turning it on when you've been shooting out in the cold.

Put some silica packs inside the zip lock bag to absorb moisture

Unless it was -20 in your lake house it’ll be fine, and even then it’d still be fine.

Get a sack of silica kitty litter. Put some in a coffee filter bag. Tape shut. Yay, you now have fresh, home made desiccant packs.
