Past simple

- [Voiceover] Did you ever hear the story about the man

- [Voiceover] It's one of the most mysterious

and creepy cold cases of all time pretty much.

- [Voiceover] So, so the time is December, 1948

- [Voiceover] A body is found on Somerton Beach

dressed immaculately in a suit with polished shoes,

The suspected cause of death was heart failure,

However, the autopsy showed no trace of poison.

which I'm assuming is Australian speak for a pastry.

- [Voiceover] You mean, he didn't eat the little thing

- [Voiceover] There was no wallet, no ID.

So far I've been like, OK, this dude is just like

- [Voiceover] Don't they do it when you're born?

- [Voiceover] They do not fingerprint you when you're born.

- [Voiceover] And the weird thing is, it was on the news

of just people saying, "Do you know who this is?"

And people came, lots of people from around the world

- [Voiceover] (laughing) How many is lots of people?

- [Voiceover] Yeah, this is 1948, so uh--

- [Voiceover] Oh, you didn't, left out that part.

- [Voiceover] Oh, I said that at the very beginning.

They find in his trousers a sewn in pocket

And inside the pocket they found a rolled up

little piece of paper that they believed to be

The piece of paper had the printed words,

- [Voiceover] Most people don't put their suicide notes

- [Voiceover] Anyway, so now they're searching

He's embalmed just, you know, to preserve him.

His story, by the way, is fucking bananas.

He claims that just after the body was found,

but at the time, he thought nothing of it

until he heard about the search in a newspaper article.

The book has part of the final page torn out,

and, sure enough, it fits the piece of paper
