NEUSTIFT (AUSTRIA), JULY 23: The body of a Canadian ice hockey player who vanished in 1989 has been discovered high on a glacier in the Alps. Duncan MacPherson, who was a first round draft pick for the NHL team the New York Islanders in 1984, was 23 when he vanished in 1989 while on a holiday in Neustift, Austria. His body was discovered by a worker on the Stubaier glacier who spotted yellow clothing half buried in the ice while operating a snow plough. Gnther Mller reported the find to police and then returned with other workers to recover the body. Deputy police chief Rober Koch said MacPherson's identity was confirmed by the documents he had in his pockets. He added there were two people still listed as missing in the area. MacPherson did not eventually play in the NHL for the Islanders and his contract ran out in 1989.
