They were surprised to learn that it belonged to a man who died 5,300 years ago! This was the o 1 complete human body ever found. Scientists named the man Ötzi after the p 2 he was found. They studied his body and learned many things. His teeth and skull[2] showed that he was probably in his 40s. He wore thick clothes and shoes made of bear skin. He carried a stone knife, wooden arrows, and equipment for starting fires. And he had a copper axe[3]—a rare and valuable t 3 back when Ötzi was alive. The Plot Thickens Most interestingly, there were injuries on Ötzi’s body that showed he was a 4 . There was a piece from a stone arrow buried deep in his left shoulder. Scientists believe this is what killed him. There was also the blood of four other people on his clothes, as well as injuries on his hands. These injuries were not c 5 healed[4]—they were recent, but not as recent as the injury on his shoulder. Ötzi’s story quickly became a murder mystery[5]—the world’s earliest murder mystery. Why was he killed? Was he running away when he died? And why was he even there, in such a cold and faraway place? New studies in 2010 and 2018 revealed more clues. New Findings Scientists learned that Ötzi ate a big m 6 right before he died—they found goat and deer meat in his stomach. He was therefore probably resting, not running, when he died. They also learned that the arrow in Ötzi’s shoulder hit him from behind. Did someone injure Ötzi in a fight, and did Ötzi run up the mountain to e 7 ? Did that same person follow Ötzi up the mountain and shoot him in the back? It’s a good theory, but scientists will probably never completely know how or why Ötzi died.
