A mumy of six years old boy, who died in 1887, was found in Karlovy Vary region, Czech Republic in 2015. CT imaging was made and well saved structures of brain and other organs were found. The body seems to have been mummified naturally due to dry and stable climate in the tomb since its fixation by mercury or arsenic containing embalming solutions was excluded.
