Lindow Man
100 B.C.-A.D. 100 Found near Manchester, England in 1984
Examined by more than 50 experts, Lindow Man is likely one of the most
scrutinized corpses in the world. He was in his 20s and, unlike most bog
bodies, wore a beard and moustache. He had mild arthritis but good teeth and
well-manicured nails. His death was far worse than a simple execution: he was
struck on the head, had his throat cut, and was throttled with a rope made of
animal sinew, perhaps to increase the bleeding, before being thrown facedown
into a watery bog.
