Massive blood loss from a ruptured artery killed the 5,300-year-old Alpine "Iceman" known as Oetzi, tests confirm.
Oetzi probably died as the result of a fight: he may either have fled the attacker - who then shot him in the back - or fell victim to an ambush.
The remains of the Neolithic man were discovered in 1991 emerging from a melting glacier.
