Man Missing for 28 Years Found Preserved in Melting Pakistani Glacier
You’re not going to believe this—it’s like something straight out of a mystery novel. After nearly three decades, the body of a man who vanished in Pakistan’s Kohistan region has been discovered... preserved inside a melting glacier.
It all unfolded in a remote part of eastern Pakistan, in a place called Lady Valley. A local shepherd named Omar Khan stumbled upon the frozen body while out in the mountains. What’s astonishing is that the body was incredibly well-preserved—clothes still intact, even his ID card was found with him. The name on the card? Naseeruddin.
Police were able to confirm the identity using that card, and it turns out Naseeruddin had been missing since June 1997. He and his brother, Kathiruddin, were on horseback traveling through the valley during a snowstorm when Naseeruddin went missing. According to Kathiruddin, his brother stepped into a cave and simply never came back out. Despite extensive searching with the help of locals, no trace of him was ever found—until now.

The body was preserved so well because of how glaciers work. When someone falls into a glacier, the extreme cold freezes the body almost instantly. The lack of oxygen and moisture prevents it from decomposing, essentially mummifying the remains over time. That’s exactly what happened here.
What brought the body to light now is climate change. Experts say that glaciers in the region have been melting much faster than before due to rising temperatures and reduced snowfall. Glaciers that were once shielded by layers of snow are now being exposed to direct sunlight, which accelerates the melt. That’s likely why Naseeruddin’s body surfaced after all these years.
The discovery has not only solved a decades-old mystery for his family—who had no idea what really happened to him—but it’s also another striking reminder of the effects of global climate change.
And imagine the shock for Omar Khan, the shepherd who found him. He told BBC Urdu that he could barely believe what he saw. The clothes hadn’t even torn. It’s like time had been frozen—literally.
Naseeruddin had a wife and two children, and while the discovery reopens old wounds, it finally brings them the closure they never got all those years ago.
