I presume you mean the Otzi that Cecil wrote about in his column [What’s the story with Otzi the gay caveman?](http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a3_229.html) Plenty of details are in the column.

However, you appear to have mistatenly posted this in the About This Message Board forum. I’m sure a moderator will move it soon.

Welcome to the boards.
