Six months later on May 12, 1931, Wegener's body was found in Greenland, halfway between Eismitte and West camp, buried with great care. A pair of skis marked the grave site. At 50 years of age and a heavy smoker, Wegener's suspected cause of death was heart failure through overexertion. His body was reburied in the same spot by the team that found the burial site and marked with a large cross. After burying Wegener, Villumsen departed for the West camp, but was never seen again. It is estimated that the 23-year-old's body now lies buried under more than 100 metres (330 ft) of accumulated ice and snow.
