He was probably gay and it was a hate crime.

Sure are creating a scenario out of the flimsiest of data. He was sterile and from there we deduce he was an outcast and murdered?

Lots of speculation here. He was shot with an arrow and died in the snow. He was sterile. That's really all they can deduce with any degree of certainty.
That he was driven out or killed because he was sterile is sheer speculation.

The four different blood types and samples found on him along with the arrowhead in his back suggests he had a rough last few minutes. Some one or some number wanted him dead.

No, I am not disputing he was murdered. I am questioning how the jump to the conclusion he was murdered because he was sterile and therefore an outcast. Maybe he was murdered because he stole things, or he raped someone, or he cast a really bad spell on a villager.

The blood samples were found on his clothing. "Scientists" have no way of determining when they got there? These people hunted to live. With stone weapons. And they typically owned one outfit. It would be suprising if he DIDN'T have multiple blood samples on his clothing.

Maybe he was murdered because he stole things, or he raped someone, or he cast a really bad spell on a villager. Maybe he lied about whether the neighboring tribe had weapons of mass destruction.

"Medicine in the man's pockets"They didn't have pockets back then. Also, you don't get sophisticated weapons if your an outcast. Someone else makes them, usually the lady(s) of the lodge. Having the blood of 4 people on his clothes means he was a great warrior. Since he was found alone, he was probably killed raiding another camp, or was jumped for the procedes of his hunt.

Looks like a classic "cold case" file to me.

Human and animal blood can be distinguished, but I'm not sure if that's possible after 5000 years.

The guy dies 5,300 years ago and they're trying to make him a victim.
