LOL
It been reported that his manhood was lost due to overzealous shoveling when he was first found and I think they have decided he was an "Italian".
He was fleeing something when he died and went the way of the known (well at least theorized) tract for herding animals in the summer, but did it in the winter. Very desperate, but good guy or bad guy we'll never know.
I've always wondered if he went up there alone. Maybe he was too injured to continue with a group that was on the run.
Actually that sounds suspiciously French to me.
