US EditionBody of Man Missing for Three Decades Found in Melting Glacier
KOHISTAN REGION, PAKISTAN, AUG 7 – Naseeruddin's body, preserved by glacier conditions, was found nearly 28 years after his disappearance, highlighting accelerated glacier melt in Kohistan, Pakistan, experts say.
- On August 1, local shepherd Umar Khan discovered the body of hiker Naseeruddin in a glacier in Lady Valley, identifying him via an ID card.
- Years ago, Naseeruddin and his brother fled a family feud in Kohistan, entering a cave in Lady Valley where he vanished after hearing gunfire.
- According to the BBC, the remains were remarkably well-preserved with intact clothing, preserved by glacier conditions that experts say can naturally mummify bodies for centuries.
- His family recognized his identity by facial features, and a tribal jirga brokered a three-day ceasefire for his hometown burial, bringing closure after decades.
- Experts say the case mirrors similar discoveries such as last year's find in Peru, highlighting how climate change accelerates glacial melt.
