If the Iceman was important, he may have been the leader of his community. One leading theory about his death is that he was assassinated. In ancient times, to take power, you often had to kill the leader. Perhaps the Iceman was the target of an assassination. The murderer may have followed the Iceman and killed him from behind. Then, to protect his identity, he pulled out the arrow and covered the body. He left the copper ax behind so that he couldn't be identified. According to this theory, the Iceman was killed by a member of his own community. Therefore, the murderer was probably someone he knew.
如果冰人很重要的，那他可能是部落的首领。关于他死亡的一种主要说法，他是被暗杀的。在古代，人们为了夺取权力经常会杀死首领，也许冰人是暗杀的目标。凶手可能从冰人后面杀了他，然后，为了保护自己的身份，他拔出箭来，盖住了尸体。他把铜斧留在后面，所以无法辨认他的身份。根据这个说法，冰人是被他自己部落的一名成员杀死的。因此，凶手很可能是他认识的人。
Another theory is that the Iceman was killed after a battle with outsiders. Since his community was located along an important trade route it may have been attacked. The Iceman may have been a military leader fighting to defend his village. Perhaps he was in a battle with the attackers on the day that he died. According to this theory, he was fleeing from the battle and was caught from behind in an isolated area.
另一种说法是，冰人是在和外部入侵者战斗后被杀死的。因为他的部落位于一条重要的贸易路线上，因此可能遭到了袭击。冰人可能是一位为保卫他的村庄而战斗的军事首领。也许在他死的那天，他正在与入侵者作战。根据这一说法，他当时正在逃离战场，在后面一个孤立的地区被抓获。
However, from an analysis of his stomach, it is unlikely that he was running from anyone. There was a half-pound of food in his stomach when he died. Since food only remains in the stomach for about an hour, he must have eaten a large meal shortly before his death. Someone who is in a hurry would never take the time to stop and eat such a large meal. And if he was killed by outsiders, why didn't they take the copper ax? So the question remains about what happened on that final day of his life. The truth is that nobody will ever know what really happened. The Iceman's murder will remain a mystery forever.
然而，从他的胃部分析来看，他不太可能是在躲藏。他死时胃里有半磅食物，由于食物在胃里只能保存大约一个小时，所以他在死前不久一定吃了顿大餐。一个匆忙的人不可能花时间停下来吃这么一顿大餐。如果他是被外人杀死的，他们为什么不拿走铜斧？所以问题仍然是在他生命的最后一天发生了什么。事实上，没有人会知道到底发生了什么。冰人被杀一事将永远是个谜。
