6 deaths, ? thats a pretty wimpy curse !!!! and cancer is such a lame way to curse someone. having them frozen to death would have had a lot more stlye

this sort of reminds of me of a scooby doo episode, the one which the ice man comes to life. I love a good curse story and this one is very intriguing, thanks for bringing it up.

Personally I believe there are real curses, that can affect believers and non believers, but I don't think Spindler dying from cancer is really part of it.

having them frozen to death would have had a lot more stlye

Heh. Someone was found frozen, but it wasn't what killed him.
Here's the way the other guys died:

The other "victims" of the mummy include the forensic expert Dr Rainer Henn, who placed the cadaver in a body bag with his bare hands, and who died in a road accident on his way to a conference to discuss his famous subject.

The Alpine guide Kurt Fritz organised the transportation by helicopter of the mummified remains, and was killed by a snowslide in an accident in the mountains, in an area he knew well. He was the only one of a party of climbers to die.

Then there was journalist Rainer Hoelz, who filmed the recovery of the Iceman, and who died of a brain tumour.

The fourth death was that of Helmut Simon, the German tourist who spotted the Iceman in 1991 while on a walking trip with his wife. He became bitter that he was not recognised or financially compensated for his discovery.

Last October he failed to return from a mountain hike and was found dead eight days later, the victim of a 300ft fall. Local newspapers recorded that his body was found frozen, under a sheet of snow and ice.

A possible sixth victim has also been named, that of Dieter Warnecke, the man who helped find the missing 69-year-old and who died of a heart attack after attending his funeral.
