I think the iceman died beacuse he got murderd from someone wounding him the shoulder and died of massive bleeding.

I think this is true because the wound was the size of a qwertor and all the blood in his body came out and he died.

I think the Iceman died because he had a arrow that was in his shoulder and had a really big cut on his wrist. I think this is true because the arrow caused massive bleading, and the wrist looked really broused and was really bleading. So I think he ended up dying because he was bleeding to death and he also might of froze to death.

I belive that the iceman got into a fight and lost it witch he was knocked unconcious. I think this is true because of the arrow head and the dagger and the quiver with the arrows.

I think he was murderd because he had been in earlier fights. He also had marks to show that he was murderd. Some of the marks are a cut on his hand which they think was from a earlier fight. He also had a mark from a arrow witch would have caused him to blead to death. That is what I think happend to the Ice Man

I think the Iceman died of eternal bleeding. I think he could'nt move because not only was he getting old and he probably couldn't walk the fastest he also couldn't move because of the arrowhead wound that hit his shoulder. He probably fled from this fight he was in and settled in a place for a little while, whether to eat food or start a fire or whatever he needed to stay alive. I then think people from a distance shot him with a arrowhead (probably the people he was fighting with) and then from not being able to move he froze to death.

I think the Iceman died because he had head trauma and was wearing down of old age. I think this is true because he was laying on the ground in the snow and had an arrow head in his shoulder and a cut on his hand. and in that matter of time also lost much blood.

I think the Ice Man died because of the head trauma,and the arrowhead logged in his shoulder. I also think he did something that made someone mad and they killed him. They might have killed him because he beat someone up. There also was a cut on his hand from a fight and the Ice Man man might have killed someone too. I think its treu because there is a cut on his hand,and a arrowhea was logged into his shoulder. And thats what i think happened to the ICE MAN !!
