= Cause of Death = Sacrifice or home-wrecker ???? Windeby 1's death has been under debate. Obviously we cant know for sure but there are several theories. One states that they were a criminal and were therefor executed. One story even says that she was put to death because her beauty was causing men to leave their wives but this was eliminated when //she// was proven to be a //he//. Another theory suggests that it was a sacrifice. Although we cant be sure the most popular theories state that the cause of death was not from natural causes. This is thought because the body was blindfolded and he had been held down in the bog by sticks and rocks. One theory tries to explain these criteria saying that research on the bones indicated that he had been sick and the blindfold might have been to "protect the living from the gaze of the dead".
