Mystery solved? 1984, 140 years later Dr. Owen Beattie was a scientist at a university in Canada. He wanted to know why so many men died on the Franklin Expedition. Dr. Beattie began by thinking about the first men who died on the expedition. They were all young and they died after only six months at sea. Twenty more men died the next year. There was something very strange about this and there was only one way to discover what it was. In 1984, Dr. Beattie went to Baffin Bay with a team of scientists. There, they opened the graves of the three Franklin sailors. Because of the extreme cold and ice, the bodies were in perfect condition.
