Irish man's death ruled as a case of "spontaneous combustion"
Click on this link to read a Slate article about an Irish case ruled by the coroner as "spontaneous combustion." There have been a number of alleged cases down through the years, though they are often explained away as due to other causes (e.g., cigarettes). Do you believe this is explicable in terms of body chemistry, or is this a case of "weird shit happening" that has no clear physical cause?

Flame on!! Haha but this is pretty disturbing that someone could just catch on fire so fast like that. I'd be curious to know what had actually caused this to happen. I don't think it's feasible that a person could just combust so easily with no rhyme or reason.
