also, was reading the end of JMS' run, Strange says Odin used his life-energy (which was used synonymously with Odinforce) to create and empower Mjolnir, and to repair it he has to link it with the life energy within thor (the odinforce he got, so this was the end of odinforce thor). Also, another condition was that since it was linked now to thor's life energy, if it were damaged or destroyed, thor would die as well (which I think is now ignored since mjolnir was destroyed and thor didn't die in aaron's run? Unless him dying to gor reset it)
So while I can deduct from this that without odinforce, an asgardian would die, I'm just looking for more supporting evidence I guess?
odin still has some odinforce while he sleeps afaik
he also enters it when a large amount of energy is spent, or if he's been damaged
