Identity ticket found next to the body
The body of a man missing 28 years ago was found in a melted glacier in the remote and mountainous region of Kohistan in Pakistan.
Naseeruddin disappeared in 1997. He had fled his homeland due to family problems.
As he passed the Lady Valley mountains during a snowstorm, Naseeruddin entered a cave, where fell into a crack of a glacier.
The Pakistani citizen was accompanied by his brother, who unsuccessfully tried to rescue him in the cave where he had lost forever.
For “always”… or even a pastor finds him this week. 28 years after the disappearance, the Body was found and recovered.
O corpse was remarkably well maintained, with the clothes intactin the so -called Vale Lady, in the east of the country. Next to the body was Naseeruddin’s ID card.
“What I saw was unbelievable. The body was intact. The clothes were not even torn,” the pastor who found the body, Omar Khan, told.
This “reunion” It was only possible thanks to climate change.
The discovery of the body shows how climate change accelerated the defrost of glaciers. The region has recorded a snowfall in recent years, exposing the glaciers in direct sunlight, accelerating the melt.
Naseeruddin had a wife and two children. He was traveling on horseback with his brother Kathiruddin the day he disappeared.
Kathiruddin told the BBC that they arrived in Vale this morning and, around the afternoon, the brother entered a cave. Only it didn’t return.
As he explained, to the same newspaper, Muhammad BilalHead of the Environment Department of the Islamabad University University, after the body has fallen into the glacier, the extreme cold froze it quickly, preventing decomposition.
The body got mummified due to the lack of moisture and oxygen in the glacier.
