GRAUBALLEDEATH!!

Grauballe Man's Death

Cause of Death : Grauballe man has a cut throat, set high up, which appears to have been done with several cuts- a murder! He also was found to have a broken tibia and his cranium also appears to have been fractured. There was also the evidence that his body had been thrown into the bogs and left to preserve for hundreds of years.

Manner of Death : These discoveries seem to indicate is was not natural or accidental...It was murder or a sacrifice. It has been greatly argued whether the bog bodies were punished, sacrificed or murdered and unceremoniously dumped in the bog for the killers safety but sacrifice is the most commonly believed as similar ritual style items have been found with most the bodies
