Dyatlov Pass incident
The mystery
The investigators gathered the informations that would suggest that a simple avalanche would be the simplest explanation. Although the later autopsies of the bodies revealed some puzzling evidence:
- six of the people died of hypothermia and three of fatal injuries (Thibeaux-Brignolles had major skull damage, and both Dubinina and Zolotarev had major chest fractures),
- there were no indications of other people nearby apart from the nine travellers on Kholat Syakhl,
- the victims had died 6 to 8 hours after their last meal,
- traces from the camp showed that all group members left the camp of their own accord, on foot,
- Dr. Boris Vozrozhdenny stated that the fatal injuries of the three bodies could not have been caused by another human being, "because the force of the blows had been too strong and no soft tissue had been damaged",
- forensic radiation tests had shown high doses of radioactive contamination on the clothes of a few victims.

There is not much to solve, hypothermia explains most of the behaviour of the victims - they stripped off their clothes due to extreme cold.
