The body of a man known as “the mysterious man from Somerton” and found dead over 70 years ago on a beach in South Australiaare exhumed in hopes of uncovering one of the most mysterious mysteries in forensic history.
Thus, the local police believe that modern readout technologies DNA will be able to help in the disclosure of the so-called “It’s over” and the exhumation is in “great public interest,” writes BBC.
“For 70 years, people have talked a lot about who this person is and how he died,” said the South Australian attorney. Vicki Chapman.
The excavation began on Wednesday, May 19, however, according to the local newspaper Nine News, the process is running slower than expected because of the dense clay and the uncertainty that the man was buried in a coffin.
“Our current technology is light years ahead of that of the late 1940s when the body was found,” explained South Australian Deputy Director of Forensic Medicine, Dr. Anne Coxon.

Despite the complexity of such research, she said, the investigation uses “every method available” to uncover the mystery.
Attempt to uncover the Tamam Shud case, one of the greatest mysteries in Australian history, is part of a program that aims to establish names on all unknown graves in Australia.
The body of a man was found December 1, 1948 by the breaker wall on the beach Somerton in the town Adelaide in the south of Australia. He was dressed in a suit and tie, but he did not have any identification documents, as well as traces of violence or other injuries on his body.
therefore more than 70 years later, the investigation has failed to establish the identity of the deceased and the exact reasons for his death. The man’s body was buried at the local cemetery under the sign “Unknown”.

At the same time, many interesting little things were found on the beach with the body: incoherent records, which many consider to be code, piece of paper, torn from a copy of a very rare collection Omar Khayyam “Rubayat”, on which only two words were written in Farsi: “It’s over”which means “completed” or “end”.
Later, a book was even found, from which this piece could have been torn out – its owner said that he found it in his unlocked car. Moreover, all the labels on the clothes of the Somerton man were cut off.
All of this has drawn international attention to the Tamam Shud case. According to the most popular versions, the deceased was spy of the USSR during the Cold War, poisoned by unknowns, suicide or unhappy lover.
