Twenty years ago, hikers in the Tyrolean Alps glacier located in Italy, found a 5,300 year old body. This was the body of Otiz the Iceman. Recently, researchers have found the mummy's stomach. The body was scanned in 2001. In 2005, Paul Gostner, a retired Italian radiologist noticed that there was an organ near the intestines of the mummy that had not been identified previously. Gostner found out that the unidentified organ was the Iceman's stomach. Due to being on ice for thousands of years, the stomach was very shriveled. It was also transposed with the colon. Otiz has been on an international murder investigation. Genetic tests showed that his stomach had goat meat and grains in it. Until recently, it was believed that the Iceman died hungry and hunted. He had an arrow that struck his left shoulder blade. It is now believed that this Iceman was ambushed not long after his last meal.
