Remember? He was found wandering on a beach in Kent in April and he would not speak a word. The one thing the apparently traumatised man did was to play the piano beautifully. Or did he?After four months of feverish speculation about the real identity of the man "washed up" on a Kent beach, we have the answer we didn't want.
A collective sense of anticlimax, maybe even a sense of being cheated, prevails as the mystery unravels around the haunted-looking stranger who suddenly appeared in our midst.
He isn't the tortured genius people willed him to be; he could speak all along; he wasn't a pianist of even moderate skill. And, we're told, he wasn't autistic.
Instead he is a 20-year-old Bavarian, named in reports as Andreas Grassl, who has flown back to Germany. And with him goes both the Hollywood ending and the magical possibilty that something would remain unsolved in a world which likes to explain everything.
People tend to dream in the way they desired but most of time is disappointed by the fact. In fact, it isn't too. That's life!

I was so concerned of this guy when I read the paper on April but so disappointed when I knew his true story!
Once i impressed the story created by press and just wondered was it a real in reality? And now, it turns out as a fool. Most of time people are disappointed by their expectation rather the reality it was. Can’t help really….
