Grasshopper Diet Led to Death by “Megacolon”
The size of the ancient man’s colon led Dr. Reinhard and his team of researchers to conclude that he was “severely constipated” and had suffered malnourishment as his body couldn t properly process foods. Now, in a museum statement by the same professor, about the same mummified remains, he has not only confirmed his earlier finding, that the poor man died from a horrible case of constipation, but according to an article in Live Science with “more advanced technologies the scientists have opened a dark window into this man s last months on Earth.” In conclusion, during the man’s last painful months “he ate mainly grasshoppers.”
