Ötzi the Iceman froze to death
New analyses of mummy show head knocks, arrow wound not lethal

DEEP FREEZE Ötzi the Tyrolean Iceman, shown here at a research center, died of exposure to cold temperatures in the Italian Alps, a new study concludes. Shoulder and head injuries may have made it difficult for the Copper Age hunter-gatherer to get around but that’s not what killed him, researchers say.
