    Death of the Iceman

    Iceman was about 45 years old when he died.

    He was 1.60 meters tall and weighed about 50 kilograms when he was alive.

    Along with the body were some other objects.

    These included some weapons, including a bow and arrow, a knife and an ax.

    He was still wearing one of his shoes and he had a backpack with a wooden frame.

    Question:

    — What was one of the weapons that was found with his body?

    — a bow and arrow

    He also had some plants that may have been used for medical purposes.

    Further examination of the body showed that he was well fed, with a diet of meat, bread and fruit.

    In fact, he had eaten several meals within a few hours of his death.

    From all the evidence, he probably had a good life.

    Perhaps he was hunting for food when he was caught in a sudden storm.

    Question:

    — The plans that he had may have been used what purpose?

    — for medical purposes

    For several years after the discovery of the body, scientists believed that he died from the cold.

    Weather is unpredictable in the area where he was found, so perhaps he was caught in an unexpected storm.

    However, ten years after his body was found, new evidence pointed to a new cause of death.

    In 2001, examiners x-rayed the body and found an arrowhead deep in the Iceman's chest.

    Further analysis revealed that the Iceman had been shot from behind.

    The arrow had cut through an artery and had caused severe 严重的、剧烈的bleeding.

    Clearly, it was a case of murder, the oldest case of murder ever discovered.

    — What new evidence was found for the cause of death?
