I'm going to be monitoring this news anyway so I thought I might as well share
I'm separting it form the Incorruptibles:

even thouh it may have some bearing on it as these are finds without any religious claims attached.
One of the most famous natural mummies is that of Frances Alice Knight - 1967 found in the cupboard of Sarah Jane Harvey.
Mammoth Book of Murder and Science (2000) page 361 - 76.

I also found another forenisc case in:
David Bowen Body of Evidence (2003) pages 227 - 228
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/1841197394/
The common factor there is warm dry air.
Other examples from different environments, i.e., cold and dry, include Otzi (worthy of their own thread) and Mallory:

So on with the news - thanks to Mummy News for some good pointers (although the most tantilising news story is difficult to track down).
