The Curse of the Iceman

Everyone likes a ghost story, and everyone loves the story of King Tut's curse.

But did you hear the story of the curse of the iceman?

Seven people who have been in contact with the mummy have died prematurely. Helmut Simon, Ötzi’s original founder, disappeared while hiking. His body was later found trapped in ice… just like the mummy’s. A person who was involved in recovering Ötzi from the ice had a heart attack an hour after Simon’s funeral. The others died from an automobile accident, avalanche, brain tumour, blood disease, and complications from multiple sclerosis.
