US EditionBody of Missing Man Found on Melting Glacier After 28 Years
LADY VALLEY, KOHISTAN DISTRICT, NORTHERN PAKISTAN, AUG 6 – Naseeruddin's body was found intact after 28 years in a glacier crevice, uncovered due to accelerated melting linked to record-high regional temperatures, officials said.
- A body identified as Naseeruddin, missing for 28 years, was found on August 1 in a melting glacier in Kohistan's remote Supat Valley, Pakistan.
- Naseeruddin went missing in mid-1997 after an incident in the mountains while traveling on horseback with his brother Kathiruddin, who explained that a family conflict had prompted them to leave their home.
- The local shepherd Omar Khan discovered the remarkably preserved body with intact clothing and physical features, and an ID card confirming Naseeruddin's identity sparked official notification.
- Experts explained that glacier conditions freeze bodies quickly and prevent decomposition, and recent unprecedented temperatures have accelerated glacial melt in northern Pakistan, exposing hidden remains.
- Authorities initiated DNA tests, the family gained closure after years of uncertainty, and the discovery highlights climate change's role in accelerating glacier melting.
