Scientists solve iceman murder mystery

Archaeologists think they have solved the longstanding mystery of how Otzi, the world's most famous iceman, met his end: an arrow wound to his shoulder caused him to bleed to death. Reports in the Guardian, the BBC and MSNBC detail the findings of Swiss archaeologist Frank Ruhli of the University of Zurich.

There is also a Podcast available to download where the author explains the significance of his findings.

Ruhli’s article Radiologic proof for the Iceman's cause of death (ca. 5’300 BP) is published in the Journal of Archaeological Science.
