Answer 1

I would say that Otzi was out hunting with other members of his tribe and was accidently shot by another hunter. In the attempt to pull out the arrow the shaft snapped off leaving the arrow embedded in his heart. Out of curiosity, TG, what would make the other tribe barbarians and Otzi's tribe more civilized.

Answer 2

He was an older man, well-equipped and apparently used to life in the mountains.  But he was alone, very high, and he died of an arrow wound.  

I might tell a story of a peaceful man who loves nature, and who is teaching his grandson the things he has learned.  Over the mountain live some dangerous barbarians, but they are seldom seen.  One day, Otzi and his grandson travel far up the mountain while hunting an Ibex (a type of antelope), and they run into a party of the barbarians who are preparing to raid Otzi's village.  Otzi sends his grandson racing down the mountain to warn the village while he heroically holds off the barbarians.  He finally manages to trigger an avalanche that carries them away, just before he dies of his wounds.

Answer 3

Well, it would have to start with..."there once was a man named Otzi"  ... hmm... well, he was the inventor of the speedo which wasn't wise in the ice age. He went to test it out one day and froze.  It's sad.

Answer 4

Otzi was the Shaman of his tribe.He travelled deep into a neighboring tribes mountain territory to gather special herbs for a ceremony.He knew that the Gods would protect him.The enemy tribe saw him and shot at him.The enemy was disappointed because they wanted to trap his spirit when he died,but he got away.Otzi hid in a crack of rock.He was cold and in pain.His Gods came to him and promised he would always be known.He was at peace.
