A man who vanished in 1997 has reportedly been found perfectly preserved inside a glacier after 28 years. The man, believed to be Nasiruddin, disappeared while returning from Sapat Valley in northern Pakistan nearly three decades ago (Wikipedia).
The astonishing discovery was made on August 1, 2025, in the Palas region of Kohistan, where a local shepherd named Umar Khan and his companions spotted the frozen body. To their amazement, the body appeared completely intact, with clothes still preserved—almost untouched by time.
Inside the man’s clothing, a National Identity Card bearing the name “Nasiruddin” was found, leading many to believe it is the same man who went missing in 1997. The incident has drawn comparisons to historical glacier discoveries such as the Ötzi the Iceman, who was found frozen in the Alps after over 5,000 years BBC Report.
Authorities were promptly informed, and the body was taken into custody for further investigation. A DNA test is currently underway to officially verify the identity before any final statements are made.
The discovery has stirred strong emotions in the region. Many locals recall the disappearance of Nasiruddin as an unsolved mystery that haunted the community for decades. The idea that the glacier preserved his body so perfectly has fascinated scientists and residents alike.
Family members of Nasiruddin have been contacted and are anxiously awaiting DNA confirmation. If verified, the case will be one of the rarest examples of natural preservation in modern times.
As the scientific investigation continues, many are reminded of the fragile yet powerful forces of nature. The glacier, acting as a time capsule, may have just provided long-awaited closure to a decades-old mystery. CNN
