String of deaths sparks talk of mummy's curse

[dArKeR]

He has lain in his icy tomb on an Alpine glacier in northern Italy for 5,300 years, a perfectly preserved Stone Age warrior, complete with fur robes, leather shoes and bow and arrow.
But since being found 14 years ago, five of the people who came in close contact with Oetzi the Iceman have died, leading to the inevitable question: is the mummy cursed?

Konrad Spindler, head of the Iceman investigation team at Innsbruck University, died on Monday, apparently from complications arising from multiple sclerosis. But that has not stopped his name being linked to a string of strange deaths related to the mummy.

1. Interesting...could it be some pathogen

from the ice ages?

3. A very strange pathogen

that causes road accidents, multiple sclerosis, mountain accidents, brain tumours and heart attacks. It's worth pointing out that the two who died in the mountains were the ones who found and brought back his body - so their hobby and living were in those dangerous circumstances.

2. He's an accidental mummy.

He was murdered and didn't decay. I say he's been waiting all this time for the truth to out. No reason to be mad at the truth outers. It's probably the ghosts of the murderers who are doing the killing.

4. Maybe he's a candidate for Cold Case.
