KHAPLU, Pakistan: The family of a missing man whose body was discovered on a melting\u00a0glacier\u00a0in Pakistan after 28 years said on Thursday (Aug 7) its recovery had brought them some relief.<\/p>\n
The\u00a0body of 31-year-old Nasiruddin was spotted by locals near the edge of the shrinking Lady Meadows\u00a0glacier\u00a0in the Kohistan region of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.<\/p>\n
His family said he and his brother had fled to the mountains after a dispute in their village in 1997 when he fell into a crevasse. His brother survived.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“Our family left no stone unturned to trace him over the years,” Malik Ubaid, the nephew of the deceased, told AFP over the phone.<\/p>\n
“Our uncles and cousins visited the\u00a0glacier\u00a0several times to see if his body could be retrieved, but they eventually gave up as it wasn’t possible.”<\/p>\n
Nasiruddin, who went by one name, was a husband and father of two children.<\/p>\n
His well-preserved body, still carrying an identity card, was found on Jul 31 by a local shepherd and buried on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
“Finally, we have got some relief after the recovery of his dead body,” Ubaid said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"KHAPLU, Pakistan: The family of a missing man whose body was discovered on a melting\u00a0glacier\u00a0in Pakistan after 28…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":54320,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[64,63,75,15299,128],"class_list":["post-54319","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-environment","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-environment","tag-pakistan","tag-science"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54319","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=54319"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54319\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/54320"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=54319"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=54319"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=54319"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
