The Czech Republic's ambassador to the United Kingdom, Stefan Fule, has
said the embassy can neither confirm nor deny the information that the
mute man, known as the "Piano Man", whom British police are trying to
identify after he was found wandering on an English beach last month,
could be a Czech citizen. According to Mr Fule, the British authorities
have not yet contacted the Czech embassy. Two Czech rock musicians say
that after seeing the man's photograph, they recognised him as their
friend, Czech musician Tomas Strnad.
