In his later years, Spindler continued to work on prehistoric studies and wrote several books on archaeology. His book Der Mann im Eis (The Man in the Ice) became a widely referenced work on the Ötzi discovery. He remained active in the field until his passing in 2005.[1]
Spindler's role in the Ötzi research was later referenced in popular culture, including in the play Mnemonic.[2]
