The South Australian Police are almost finished with a legal report to identify the man known as the Somerton Man.

南澳警方即將完成一份法律報告，以確認被稱為「索默頓男人」的男子身份。

The identification is based on family tree research by Professor Derek Abbott, who believes there is a 99.99% chance that the man was Carl 'Charles' Webb. He reached this conclusion by comparing DNA from a plaster model of the man's head with samples from a commercial genealogy website. Furthermore, Professor Abbott pointed to photographic similarities and the name 'Keane' found on personal items, which he believes refers to a nephew of the man.

身份確認是基於 Derek Abbott 教授進行的家譜研究，他認為該男子有 99.99% 的機率是 Carl "Charles" Webb。他是透過將該男子頭部石膏模型的 DNA 與商業基因網站的樣本進行比對後，得出這一結論的。此外，Abbott 教授指出照片中的相似之處，以及在個人物品上發現的名稱 "Keane"，他認為是指該男子的侄子。

This process began in 2021 when the body was dug up as part of 'Operation Persevere,' a project to identify unknown remains in the region. Although much time has passed, the South Australian Police (SAPOL) emphasized that the investigation is still complex and ongoing. Consequently, the police must submit a report to the coroner, who will then decide if a formal inquiry is needed before making a final decision.

這個過程始於 2021 年，當時作為「堅持行動」（Operation Persevere）的一部分將屍體掘出，該項目旨在識別該地區的未知遺骸。儘管時隔多年，南澳警方（SAPOL）強調，調查依然複雜且仍在進行中。因此，警方必須將報告提交給驗屍官，由驗屍官決定在做出最終決定前，是否需要進行正式調查。

Regarding the forensic evidence, Professor Abbott asserted that it is unlikely they will find the cause of death because the bones have decayed too much. Therefore, the investigation now focuses only on confirming the man's identity. The man's descendants have said they would prefer the remains to stay where they are, but the final decision depends on the coroner's official ruling.

關於法醫證據，Abbott 教授斷言他們不太可能找到死因，因為骨骼已經嚴重腐爛。因此，目前的調查僅集中於確認該男子的身份。該男子的後代表示，他們希望遺骸留在原處，但最終決定取決於驗屍官的官方裁決。

The official identity of the Somerton Man is expected to be confirmed by the end of this year.

索默頓男人的官方身份預計將在今年年底前得到確認。
