The Aschbroeken Man

 

In 1931 the body of a man was found in a peat pit in Drenthe near Weerdinge, Netherlands. The body was well preserved, unfortunately, his skull was lost soon after discovery.  The body was that of a man who lived and died during the bronze age between 1316-928 B.C. He would now be known as the Aschbroeken Man as his identity will never be known.

The man was between 35 and 45-year-old when he died. His bones showed that he had broken his right upper arm once, and the fracture healed wrong. This caused the arm to point slightly outwards. He had growth spurts from around 9 that were likely caused by being ill or malnutrition at the time. 

It's unknown why he ended up in the bog, but his arm may have been the reason. Evidence from other bog bodies in the Netherlands showed that many of them also had some sort of disability. This may have been the reason he ended up in the bog also.
