Another theory is that the Iceman was killed after a battle with outsiders.另一个推测是冰人与外人战斗后被杀的

Since his community was located along an important trade route it may have been attacked.由于他的我部落坐落在一个重要贸易路线上，所以它可能被攻击

However, from an analysis of his stomach, it is unlikely that he was running from anyone.然而，从他的胃部分析，他不太像是逃离任何人

There was a half-pound of food in his stomach when he died.他死的时候，在他的胃里有半磅食物

Since food only remains in the stomach for about an hour, he must have eaten a large meal shortly before his death.由于食物仅遗留在胃里大约半小时，他肯定在他死前很短时间内吃了大餐

Someone who is in a hurry would never take the time to stop and eat such a large meal.匆忙的人绝不会花时间停下吃这样的丰盛大餐

And if he was killed by outsiders, why didn't they take the copper ax?如果他被外来者杀害，为什么他们不带走铜斧

So the question remains about what happened on that final day of his life.因此问题仍然是在他生命的最后一天发生了什么

The truth is that nobody will ever know what really happened.真相是没有人知道发生了什么

The Iceman's murder will remain a mystery forever.冰人的谋杀将永远是一个谜
