One problem for the coroner and one for the professor

There is no inarguable chain of evidence that supports the accepted theory that the hair found on the outside of the bust belonged to the Somerton man.

There appears to have been no official search of morgue records as to whether there were any more unidentified bodies in the morgue at the same time as the Somerton man was occupying a space there.

Perhaps these are the reasons for the long delay.

And if they are, one might agree with Xanthe Mallett in that there may never be a coronial finding and the Somerton Man mystery will remain as such.

The fact that nobody has made a comment here today …

… means the subject matter, being the Somerton Man Case, is old and nearly dead news.

Check Pelling – nothing doing there.

Check Cramer – nothing doing there, though the old boy’s not convinced.
