Her husband was died, when they stumbled across the dead body in an amazing situation of protection after five thousand years in the deep freeze. A prize of €175,000 will be paid out to the Simon after bitter negotiations with Bolzano. Originally the region offered €50,000, but after several court appeals it was forced to rise.
