The body also shows signs of severe head trauma, which may have been the result of falling after being struck by the arrow. Is The Iceman a true story Richard Kuklinski, byname The Iceman, (born April 11, 1935, Jersey City, New Jersey, U.S. It wasn't until 2001 that scientists saw in an X-ray image that he has a flint arrowhead sunk deep into his left shoulder, which severed his subclavian artery. Ötzi, named for the Ötztal Mountains in which he was discovered just 100 yards from the border of Austria and Italy in September 1991, is believed to be the oldest intact human body ever found. The South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology, where his remains have been on exhibit since 1998, states that for a decade after his discovery, it was believed that his death had been an accident.
For Ötzi, as he's come to be called, didn't die of natural causes. But little did they know that they had just uncovered the world's oldest cold case. According to the South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology, Erika and Helmut Simon thought they'd come across the body of someone who had died in a recent mountaineering accident. tzi was probably not involved in working the metal himself, as the high levels of arsenic and copper found in his hair had, until now, led us to assume. On September 19, 1991, a pair of German hikers stumbled across a body frozen into the ice on the Ötztal Alps, on the border between Italy and Austria. The copper used to make tzi’s axe blade did not come from the Alpine region as had previously been supposed, but from ore mined in southern Tuscany.
