We have collected all the evidence we have on Otzi the

Iceman…

So how did he die?

Archaeologists believe that the Ice Man died from exhaustion from protecting himself from a snowstorm. His frozen body lay where it died until it was found in 1991.

However, new evidence was discovered where an arrow head was found in Otzi’s shoulder making scientist believe he was attacked and died from his injuries.

So we have collected all the evidence and discussed the theories behind his death…
