In life, Lindow Man

In life, Lindow Man would have measured between 5'6" and 5'8" (1.68 and 1.73 m) tall and weighed about 132 pounds (60 kg). It was possible to ascertain that his age at death was around the mid-20s. The body retains a trimmed beard, moustache, and sideburns of brown hair, as well as healthy teeth with no visible cavities, and manicured fingernails, indicating he did little heavy or rough work.[nb 1] Apart from a fox-fur armband, Lindow Man was discovered completely naked.[23] When he died, Lindow Man was suffering from slight osteoarthritis and an infestation of whipworm and maw worm.[24] As a result of decalcification of the bones and pressure from the peat Lindow Man was buried under, his skull was distorted.[25] While some preserved human remains may contain DNA, peat bogs such as Lindow Moss are generally poor for such a purpose, and it is unlikely that DNA could be recovered from Lindow Man.[26]
