DNA analysis has uncovered a new lead in the mystery of a man who died in a suspected self-immolation on a remote California beach, pointing to Middle Eastern ancestry and a possible connection to one of the world’s oldest religions. But more than six years after his charred remains were discovered inside a bonfire, investigators still do not know who he was or why he died. The man’s remains were found at Pescadero State Beach, south of San Francisco, on July 24, 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic.
