Recently, FUNAI staff who were remotely monitored by the Brazilian "Cave Man" found that he had died. He lived in the Amazon region of Brazil before his death. He was said to be the last member of his tribe. Called "índio do Buraco" or "Indigenous People in the Caves".
For many years, he lived a secluded life away from people.
He resists anyone who tries to approach, and if he finds anyone approaching, he shoots arrows or sets traps.
He was also called "the loneliest man in the world".
The man lived in the Tanaroo region of Rondônia and is believed to be the only member of an indigenous tribe there.
The BBC also reported that most of his tribe is believed to have been killed by farmers who wanted to expand their land back in the 1970s.
By 1995, six remaining members of his tribe had died after being attacked by illegal miners.
He is about 60 years old, lying in a hammock outside the thatched hut.
The remains were in a "decomposed" state and covered with many bright feathers.
Aboriginal expert Santos told local media that perhaps the man knew he was about to die, so he put the feather on him.
"He is waiting to die and there is no sign of violence".
Santos also said he may have been dead for 40 to 50 days before his body was found.
Local officials also said there were no signs of intrusion at his hut.
Management will conduct an autopsy on him to determine whether he has contracted a disease.
