The body of a man missing for 28 years has been found in a melting glacier in Pakistan's remote and mountainous Kohistan region.
A shepherd stumbled upon the body, which was remarkably well-preserved, with its clothing intact, in the so-called Lady Valley in the country's east...
"What I saw was unbelievable," the shepherd who found the body, Omar Khan, told BBC Urdu. "The body was intact. The clothes were not even torn."
As soon as police confirmed that it was Naseeruddin, locals began offering more information, Mr Khan added.
Naseeruddin had a wife and two children. He was travelling with his brother, Kathiruddin, on horseback on the day he went missing. Police said a family feud had forced the two men to leave their home.
Kathiruddin told BBC Urdu that they had arrived in the valley that morning, and sometime around afternoon, his brother stepped into a cave. When he did not return, Kathiruddin says he looked for him inside the cave - and went and got help from others in the area to search further. But they never found him.
When a human body falls into a glacier, the extreme cold freezes it fast, preventing decomposition, said Prof Muhammad Bilal, head of the Department of Environment at Comsats University Islamabad.
The body is then mummified due to a lack of moisture and oxygen in the glacier.

Well, at least it didn’t take 5000 years................
Otzi is not impressed.
Pakistan. If in the US he would have received “federal housing assistance funds” and Social Security and food and health care money.
And stayed as a registered Dem voter all that time.
Is he Ok”
Dead for 28 years.

A bit stiff..................
Kind of like a dark realistic take on Captain America.
Yeah, really, this guy’s a wuss compared to that. 27 years? Don’t make Otzi kick your ***.

How does one fall into a glacier, aren’t glaciers frozen? Or did he find a quicksand glacier? Either way thats cold.
Crevasse probably.
I hate it when that happens!
Sorry, I don’t read comics or see the many theatrical movies of Marvel and others.
Right.
Does this prove Ted Williams wrong?
Maybe just his kids.
That’s easy to find, just find any tourist returning from various third world ‘resorts’.
