After over 70 years of anonymity, the Somerton Man finally has a face and a story. Born in 1905, Carl Webb was a father and a husband—not the international man of mystery we imagined. But why did he end up dead on Somerton Beach with the labels cut out of his clothes? We look into the life of Carl Webb to understand what led him to that beach in 1948 and why his death remains an unsolved medical anomaly. #ExpeditionFiles #DiscoveryUK
