[QUOTE=dcalde78;32448420]To those disbelieving:

A few years ago (a lot actually, going back to at least 06), Bruce Dickinson (that singer guy from Iron Maiden) did a documentary for Sky One called "Bruce Dickinson On Spontaneous Human Combustion". He went in depth into the myths and cases of spontaneous human combustion in the UK. It has happened before, and though uncommon, does still happen, and probably always will. It's isolated though.

The general findings from Dickinson's documentary was that;
the victims are usually alcoholics or recovering alcoholics
there is a source of ignition nearby
the body will largely burn away, fiercely and quickly
the surroundings of the victim will be largely unaffected; the area immediately around the victim will be scorched, but anything more than a foot or so away will be unaffected mostly

If you want to watch it (I recommend it, it was great viewing), go to YouTube and search for "Bruce Dickinson on Spontaneous Human Combustion".

The quality of the YouTube videos isn't great, but it's watchable.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Watevaman;32449338]The thing is, if there's an external ignition source, it's not spontaneous combustion.[/QUOTE]
Exactly.
All the cases have a source of ignition nearby. Whos to say a small burning piece of wood or something jumped on to the guy and burned him?
