spontaneous human combustion this is something of a of a cult favorite topic
and there's a story that was sent to me from by now at about amends body that
was found burned inside a home the death is as unexplained
and um... fire crews waiting and they went to a house fire they saw smoke
coming out of the house they found a man's body in the middle of the kitchen
floor burned no fire damage anywhere else cause of the burning unknown
and right away when the story like this comes out people start saying it's it's
that spontaneous human can combustion that uh... we have uh... so many rumors
about and people say uh... it could be it could be a supernatural things i did
a little research there's about two hundred cited cases worldwide
over the last three hundred years of the spontaneous combustion
of course whenever i see something like this idon't jump to the paranormal
explanation some other people may but one of the natural explanations and they
seem to be a couple of different things one
production of an abnormally concentrated gas are raised blood alcohol level
could cause spontaneous ignition
uh... health and lifestyle factors like smoking or not having enough water in
your body things like that can be factors
and something involving external ignition sources like you're drunk
and you drop a cigarette that type of thing
that the most common explanations are ok if we look at most cases of suspected
spontaneous human combustion day involved low mobility people either due
to advanced age or obesity
and poor health meaning that if even the smallest fire starts their often unable
to move
they die in their sleep a fire may then start subsequently and then they may
bernau how they can actually get lit on fire while they're sleeping that as many
explanations there cigarettes are often cited as the source here which is
dropped cigarette
person fell asleep with a cigarette
or just can't move they burn and uh... because of the combination
you know water levels and whatever in their body at the it seems the kind of
extinguish itself without spreading anywhere these are the explanations that
come up with a list
but there is no uh... consensus
well i don't know is that would you say there's a consensus on this mission
i think we should get the mythbusters guys that come in and do a little
experiment on louis we can use a muzzle can eat a contest of the hypotheses
