He got frostbite on his fingers - wouldn't it be "Se le congelaron los dedos" instead of "Se le congeló los dedos"?

It probably has something to do with not using the true passive voice in Spanish (fueron congelados los dedos) and using the passive se or in English between saying He froze his fingers (active voice) and his fingers were frostbitten (passive)
