its been a long time since ive heard this spontaneous human combustion theory.
many years ago i bought a big box of mixed old books at a garage sale (in sydney) there were many nature,learning, doctors books ,autopsy books etc ,.. the books i found very interesting were ones relating to this 'spontaneous human combustion' . the photo's they showed were real life actual deaths from this .? not sure if i believe it can hapen . but ive seen /heard stranger things .. dave .

so the fire was hot enough to boil his blood (100+) and incenerate him but localise the flame to a small local area.
meh.... nothing more than a spark and a wick effect...... we all burn candles, and whilst the candle wax (or body fat/tissue in this case) continues to fuel the fire, a candle won't melt or combust the table it sits on. Only has a localised burn simulating as far as the wax will support it.

Yes but where did the fire come from?
No evidence of accellerant. |

No BS....believe it or not, Ireland is full of people with generic names
![]() http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/...304578285.html The Irish Times is the main broadsheet of repute in Ireland. It is the the national paper of record and the only one accepted as valid to cite from in Law School etc. If it's in there, it happened. |

I recall a doco years ago which explained it was not possible. There are events in history where cases have seemed to be spontaneous combustion, but turn out to be like someone said above, wick effect. The open fire seems a likely suspect as the source, and clothing etc as the first thing to catch alight. Generally the person is overwhelmed by some type of fumes prior to them catching alight, or too drunk to awaken before its too late.
What it appears we have is a coroner who has no idea how else to explain it. That doesnt make it true and a newspaper is simply reporting that finding. |
