He became known as the Lindow Man. He was in his mid to late twenties, stood at five feet and six inches tall, had well-manicured nails, and sported neatly trimmed brown hair and mustache.
His body showed signs of multiple injuries, including blows to his head from a blunt object, a cord wrapped around his neck, a cut from the throat to the neck, and a sharp kick to his back. All these acts of violence led to a broken neck and a fractured skull.
For centuries, hundreds of other similarly preserved bodies have been pulled out of Lindow Moss. And they all showed evidence of deformities of some kind.
There is no clear explanation for how these bodies ended up in the bog, but experts believe that the most likely reason is that they were killed during ritual sacrifices.
As technology improves and new finds are made, perhaps more information can be pieced together. But for now, the mystery of the bodies in the bog goes on unsolved.
