Probably the most common and number 1 reason an engine will freeze up, is an uncovered exhaust allowing rain water to get into the cylinders. Leaving spark plugs out will cause the same thing. Another reason is, a head gasket that deteriorates to a point where it will leak radiator coolant into the cylinders. Of coarse the engine would have to have coolant in it above the level of the head gasket for this to happen. Another reason may be that the coolant didn't have enough antifreeze in it and the coolant froze allowing the block/sleeves to bust because of the effects of ice. And as mentioned several times, condensation from air because of humidity and temperature change. Bottom line is that anything that allows the pistons, rings, and cylinder walls to get wet with water will allow for rust and the engine to become seized up.
