    The way he was found, sitting with his legs extended and cross, leaning against the sea wall, facing out to sea, with an unlit cigarette on his shoulder... sounds pretty obviously like he knew he had been poisoned and went to sit on the beach for one last ciggy and a sunset.

      If he had been poisoned, he more than likely would have vomited all over. Because the human body will react in ways to get rid of anything that is toxic to the body. Not to mention that most anything toxic enough to kill somebody will also show signs of other side effects. Like discoloration, burns, rashes. Muscular reactions. Because the body is fighting death.

      @kellyblack2010 Рік тому +1

      Same I saw the that video too yesterday… this I starting to sound more like a serial killer/copycat or a group with the same “signature” of removing identifying information from the victims and seamingly planting evidence that doesn’t add up to confuse the cops. The fact that the woman after 50 years still seemed afraid to tell who the man was suggest that it’s probably a organization because the actual killer probably was long dead by then or at least very elderly as she wa at the time. This sounds like something an fbi profiler would have to solve

    • @masonrz
      @masonrz Рік тому +1

      The two might be related in some way. unidentifiable person, mysterious death, labels removed from clothes, few items on the person (none of which can identify the person), suite case left at a train station with items in that also can not be used to identify the person (labels removed as well), both were close to military/rocket sites 10:16 (nuclear rocket range) in this case and the "Isdal Woman" was also thought to have followed the penguin missile testing locations. That might also explain why the nurse was so scared to talk, since she knew the man from seeing him and might have been involved in his death in some way (or saw the murder at least), so she knew/saw the dangerous people that was after the man and wanted her name to stay out of anything related to the case in fear that they might come after her (also her reaction when she saw the man's face tells me that she was just a bystander that got dragged into this, since a trained person would not react that way in order to avoid suspicion). the same group might have gone after the Isdal Woman as well hence the similarities in how the bodies and their artefacts were found.
      Sounds like a conspiracy theory, but the similarities are just to close

  • @r.verbatima9562

    There is another very strange detail about this case. The book from which the scrap "Tamam Shud" was torn out had a format that did not match the actual edition indicated on the inside cover. In fact, it did not match the format of any other Rubayat edition published between 1930 and 1945. It resembles most closely the 1941 Whitcombe and Tombs edition of the book, but there are still slight differences in the font and the size of the paper. Somerton Man's copy of Rubayat appears to be bespoke. No other copy identical to it has ever been found.

  • @Chrochella
    @Chrochella 3 роки тому +1440

    As soon as you said all the labels had been removed from the clothing, it can be assumed this man was a clandestine operative. Labels are removed from operative’s clothing so it can’t be traced back to the country/region/area where it was purchased which can potentially compromise the operative.
    Personally, I think the man either poisoned himself or was poisoned by someone else.
    They’ll never find his true identity. Most likely his family (if he had one) was quietly notified of his death and were warned not to talk about it by the government he worked for.

    I recently saw another very similar UA-cam video about a woman that also had the labels removed from her clothing and she was found dead with no idea who she was. Some thought she might be a spy but others did not. She had a lot of wigs and different sunglasses and non prescription eyeglasses in a suitcase, too, among other things. All of her makeup had the labels removed, also. She had died from being caught on fire but she had a bunch of pills in her stomach as if she had been forced to take them before she was caught on fire. Very strange how similar that story is like this one. They dubbed her the Isdal Woman. Really interesting. It's enough to make you think the two cases are somewhat related to some degree.

      Yeah, let's be real. His true motive was to solve the 20 yr personal saga. To get close to the daughter who was the key. He married her as a side quest though. Lmao.
      How awkward is it. When the daughter who goes onto 60 minutes saying she will take the answer to the grave. Yet her husband who eventually lead events to the DNA testing. Is going to be the one spilling the beans...

The officer kept quiet even with the amateur who tried to solve the case and cut contact. Either he was weirded out, being super professional, or he knew not to divulge the real situation if dangerous people were still out there.

    As a South Aussie, I clicked straight away when I saw a ThoughtyTwo video about Somerton man! I've been following this case for years. Weirdly, one of the best parts of my birthday this year was the exhumation of Somerton man.

      Yup! Me as well. With the exception of external clothing. Like jackets, coats and all of my fedora hats. All of which have a label on the upper inside and never come in contact with me extensive bald spot. So all in all I think he was some kind of Spook!

      ​@@confusedbadger6275 Totally agreed. My father worked as a teller in the bank for many years. He had a closet full of white shirts, all of which were labeled with his name. The dry cleaner would check the label and be able to return the correct white shirt to the correct customer. Very different world in the 1940's and 50's.

      @VivPhotography 2 роки тому +1

      I don't think the labels back then were scratchy like they are now (made of a completely different material). Plus, the label had your name on it, so it doesn't make sense for him to take it off.

    My Psych professor once told us about how his mom went to Harvard. She had a professor who went to South America on a trip, and came back with a fatal disease. He was the kind of guy who didn’t want to be a burden, he didn’t want others to worry about him. The disease was too much for him. So he dressed in his finest suit, and walked into the ocean. This video just reminds me of that.
