Police in the UK say they have finally confirmed the identity of a man who was discovered in a sleepy beach town saying he doesn’t remember who he is. But more questions remain.
“Officers who have been making (investigations) to establish the identity of a man who was found in Weymouth are pleased to update that his identity has now been established,” a Dorset police spokesperson recently announced, according to Metro.
The spokesman said the man, who turned up in Weymouth in January, has only been identified as a “43-year-old male from Latvia” following a tip from a “member of the public”.
A spokesperson did not confirm further details about the man’s identity, his current condition or how he ended up in England when contacted by Fox News Digital on Wednesday.

The man was discovered by Dorset police on September 28 wearing two pairs of black trousers and a visorless motorcycle helmet and was unable to tell police who he was or where he came from.
The man had long, curly, shaggy brown hair and a long beard when he was found and is 5 feet, 9 inches tall with a slim build and was believed to speak with a Latvian accent.
