First of all, this story is a story. It's not "about" the Somerton man. It uses that case as inspiration. It should be interpreted as a work of fiction which may or may not resemble something true.

Secondly, you can't say with absolute confidence that that's the truth. There is just as much evidence that the Somerton man commited suicide. No one knows who the Somerton man was, and it's unlikely that we will at this point. I've been follwing this case for years and I'm very familiar with it.
