This was an interesting case. There is a "Spy" theory that seems to fit well.

This happened just down the road from me, coincidentally also just down the road from where the Beaumont children disappeared. Both are very mysterious and appear on numerous "worlds greatest mystery" lists.

Maybe there is a black hole along there...an older man disappeared along there too...just vanished into thin air.

I personally put some credence into the spy story.

There was a strong US presence here in SA at the time, and it was in the days of extreme paranoia, just before the cold war. There was also a local girl peripherally involved who was an Army nurse IIRC.

Very interesting! Gonna read that the Beaumont children thing!

With the somerton man, I guessed the government had employed him to take part in time travel exercises/operations. He was in great shape, perhaps x-military scientist. I just suspicion his heart gave out during space travel, or he was exposed to a chemical. It seems governments are so competitive with one another, they would certainly cut the tags from his clothes and remove all telling evidence for their own privacy. Russians are amazing scientist, he looks Russian to me.

The pathologist who performed his autopsy believed he was Slavic.

The only hole in your theory of time travel is that nothing he wore or possessed was from the future. Just other countries.

He was definitely exposed to a chemical, as the pathologist stated he was poisoned with an unknown barbituate.

Interesting. However, I think he was put in appropriate clothing for that time period, in case he was found dead...there would be no evidence. Perhaps he was an unidentified male from the period in which he died, he went forward or backward in time travel, made it back to his appropriate time and meeting place...only for it to be too much on his physical body and died in the spot.

A good summary and investigation of this case in the recent Series 3 Episode 4 of Historys Greatest Mysteries - The Body on Somerton Beach.

It seems that they have exhumed his body in 2021 and are processing the DNA to try to find a match. They have a granddaughter of a local woman who lived about 400 yards away from the beach where he was found. They suspect The Somerton Beach Man was a ballet dancer who they think was the lover of this local woman (who died in 2007).

His physical body was that of a ballet dancer with large thigh muscles and these were noted by police as being higher up the leg which is what identifies that type of profession. The program may be suggesting that he killed himself because she would not resume the affair and possibly was not anything related to spying.

I lean towards the espionage theory.
