[@Galiant2010]

I got a book about him when I was like 5 or 6 years old. Mid 90's. "Discovering the Iceman". It's weird because I 100% remember the book saying he was found in what used to be a hot spring. They suspected that he had escaped some attackers, injured, and stumbled across the spring while on a journey through the mountains, trying to get through before the seasonal snows came. He decided to rest and tend to his injuries while soaking in the hot spring. So his items and clothing were found nearby as he had removed them before entering. But that he succumbed to his injuries after dozing off. Very shortly after his death the snows came and never melted enough to reveal him until 1991. But I got rid of the book nearly 20 years ago so I can't go look to be sure. But the thing about the hot springs was ingrained into my memory about this guy. Hearing you talk about being carried and dumped, or sacrificed, was as weird to me as saying 2+2=5...

The position of the arrowhead suggests the shooter was on power ground them him, and Ötzi was seated while that happened. Probably eating his last meal which was found in his stomach (Ram). Might be he was an outcast who was hunted down.

I wonder if the ancient people, who subdued Otzi, knew that there was something supernatural attached to Otzi, something that would bring doom upon whoever encountered Otzi, and so, they subdued Otzi as best they could, and then arranged to put Otzi's body somewhere where no one would find Otzi, for a very long time? In other words, maybe the curse, surrounding Otzi, was active even before Otzi died, something like Michael Myers in all the _Friday the 13th_ movies? I'm just posing the questions. I'm not looking to find the answers.
