DIRT DETECTIVE ANSWERS...
OLD CROGHAN MAN
WHAT WAS UNUSUAL
ABOUT MY DEATH?
WHY DO YOU THINK
IT HAPPENED?
IT IS CLEAR THAT HE DID NOT DIE A NORMAL DEATH
BECAUSE CELTS WERE NORMALLY CREMATED DURING THE
TIME PERIOD OF HIS DEATH. HE HAD BEEN ATTACKED
AND CUT INTO PIECES BEFORE HIS DEATH.
PERHAPS THE MOST TELLING INDICATION OF WHY HE
WAS KILLED WAS HIS LAST MEAL OF BUTTERMILK AND
CORN, WHICH INDICATED HE MAY HAVE BEEN A
SACRIFICE TO THE GODS AS PART OF A PAGAN RITUAL.
DO YOU THINK
I WAS A POOR PEASANT
OR RICH WITH
SERVANTS?
HIS FINGERNAILS
WERE EXTREMELY
WELL MANICURED,
INDICATING HE
HADN'T WORKED A
DAY IN HIS LIFE AND
WAS MOST LIKELY
VERY WEALTHY WITH
SERVANTS.
CLONYCAVAN MAN
WAS I RICH
OR POOR?
HE WAS MOST LIKELY
WEALTHY SINCE HE COULD
AFFORD INGREDIENTS FOR
HIS HAIR GEL WHICH CAME
FROM ABROAD.
DO YOU THINK I DIED
DURING THE WINTER
OR SUMMER?
DUE TO THE FACT THAT HIS STOMACH CONTENTS
SHOWED HE HAD RECENTLY EATEN A RICH DIET
OF FRESH VEGETABLES, HE MOST LIKELY DIED
DURING THE WARMER SUMMER MONTHS WHEN
VEGETABLES WERE APLENTY.
