That fits some myths of the wechuge. They're monstrous former people infused with "too strong" of spirits and hearts of ice. Melting the heart with literal heat or in a few myths with the love of a relation would end their existence or sometimes turn them human again.
One could easily make part of that a mistake of folklore. They merely resemble formerly living people with wish fulfillment adding the happy ending myths.
