Identity of mystery man found on seafront that didn't know who he was finally revealed

A mystery man who turned up at a British seafront and appeared to not know who he was has finally been identified following a three-month investigation. The unknown individual was guessed to be around 50 when he was discovered on September 28 in the popular seaside town of Weymouth in Dorset.

Police were left baffled by the man who spoke with an eastern European accent as he claimed he was unable to remember who he was or where he was from, the Mirror reports. Dorset Police confirmed yesterday that the stranger has been confirmed to be a 43-year-old man from Latvia but they did not disclose his name or how he came to be in Weymouth.

He was found wearing a black motorcycle helmet with no visor, a black shirt, a black leather jacket, black suit trousers on top of other black trousers and brown workman's boots. A spokesman for Dorset Police said: "Officers who have been making enquiries to establish the identity of a man who was found in Weymouth are pleased to update that his identity has now been established.
