Death of the Iceman. In September 1991, two hikers made a stunning discovery in the Alps - the frozen body of a Stone Age man dating from 5,300 years ago. It was the oldest ice mummy ever found and Oetzi, as the discovery was called, became the focus of a scientific murder-mystery story. This film follows scientific investigators as they use the latest forensic evidence to piece together what might have happened all those thousands of years ago - was Oetzi fleeing the attackers who finally killed him?
