The body of the unknown Somerton man will be exhumed today from a cemetery in Adelaide with hopes of developing a DNA profile and cracking the 73 year old cold case.
The mysterious man has eluded identification for decades after being found slumped against the seawall at Somerton Beach on December 1, 1948.
The case was the inspiration for the Drones song ‘Taman Shud’ which was scrawled on a piece of paper found on the man.
