The police recovered the dead man, who was then flown to the valley by helicopter and then an autopsy was carried out. Since the man had a document with him, the police assume that he is an Upper Austrian born in 1917 who has been missing in the Wiesbachhorn area since August 1971, a spokeswoman said.
The hikers discovered the glacier corpse in the municipality of Fusch on Glocknerstrasse in the Hochgruberkees area at an altitude of around 2,800 meters. The police are now trying to trace relatives in order to be able to clearly clarify the identity using DNA comparison. “Theoretically, it could have been that he had kept the document for a friend,” said the spokeswoman.
