TZI the Iceman was found in the Alps in 1991. He died approximately 5,200 years ago, becoming a mummy accidentally (and almost immediately) by the freezing weather conditions which turned him into the Iceman. A great deal of research has gone into the study of Otzi and a lot of it is detailed in this site. Fascinating.
