Middle of Nowhere

A man is lying in the middle of the desert, dead. He has a tattoo on his upper arm. He also has a full water canteen strapped to his belt and an empty backpack on his back. There is nobody around for miles and there are no footprints or tire tracks on the ground. If he did not die of natural causes, how did he die?

1) Of infection because of an infected needle that was used to make the tattoo maybe?
2) Of hypothermia (if its a snow desert)...
Let me think some more, if the above aren't right...

He parachuted in but died on impact.

I like both of Caprico's answers but budunk's is the one I had in mind. Budunk might have added that the empty backpack was the key: there should have been a parachute but wasn't one. I intended the tattoo and the canteen to hint at a paratrooper.
