[Discovery of human bones at the Prägratkees (Tyrol) 1953 and 1990].
At the Prägratkees (Granatspitz, Tyrol) human bones, pieces of equipment and garment were found at the same site in 1953 and 1990. According to the forensic investigations, the bones were attached to a 37 year-old mountain climber, who has been missed since 1936. Because of the fact that between both discoveries an interval of 37 years elapsed, it is doubtful whether the bones are from one person. The forensic conclusion, that the bones are attached to one person could be supported by the glaciological situation of this glacier.
