Otzi is a fully preserved mummy who was discovered accidentally by some hikers in the Northern Alps glacier on the border of Austria and Italy in 1991. He was found in ice with his preserved and complete skeleton with a steel axe. Scientists are amazed that the bones of his skeleton stayed preserved since 3,300 BCE. The big question is how did Otzi the Iceman die. Scientists have made different theories of how they believe Otzi died, but nobody knows the real truth.

I believe that Otzi the Iceman died from the cold temperature on the glacier. Scientists believe that Otzi’s clothes were mostly made out of woven strips of wood and that would have caused lots of his open skin revealed to the cold weather. He most likely wasn't able to find plenty of food on the mountain because most animals were in a more warmer environment and wouldn’t stay on a cold glacier like Otzi did. In the long run, Otzi didn’t have the specific type of clothing he needed to keep his blood circulating properly and he made a bad decision of not bringing proper food to eat on the glacier. He also chose a bad place to climb and hike because most animals wouldn't of been on that mountain. This is what some scientists believe of how Otzi died and I also agree with this statement.
