"Mystery of Somerton man’s identity solved after 73 years, researchers in Australia say"
"Cryptic clues about man found on an Adelaide beach in 1948 spawned theories of jilted lovers and cold war spies – but the truth may open up even more questions"
"Prof Derek Abbott from the University of Adelaide said on Monday he believes the man found on 1 December 1948, was Carl “Charles” Webb, a 43-year-old electrical engineer from Melbourne.
South Australian police have not released a statement on the identity of the man or provided an update on their own investigation following the exhumation of the man’s body last year.
The coroner will be asked to confirm the identification."

- So there are still questions, but now we can probably rule out the spy theory.garbage
