PARIS, July 25 -- The mystery of the "Iceman" now appears to be solved.
A team of scientists in Italy has concluded that the 5,300-year-old Bronze
Age hunter, whose frozen, mummified corpse was discovered a decade ago in
the Alps on the Italian-Austrian border, died from a wound from an arrow
that ripped through his back.
...
But using a technique called computerized tomography, a sophisticated X-ray
that allows for multidimensional imaging, scientists discovered an arrowhead
beneath the Iceman's upper left shoulder and concluded that he died in pain
and bled extensively.
