Man dies from spontaneous combustion

[Obsessed]

Sheriff: Man's burned body found inside home, death unexplained

How in the world is this even possible. This happened 10 miles from me.

 

[Toujours Pret]

Interesting. Maybe he'd been dead for some time, and through some fluke sunlight refraction or whatnot the corpse ignited?

 

[Notorious B.E.N]

Wow, thats pretty crazy

 

[Coug]

Spontaneous combustion is a myth. Someone murdered the guy somewhere else and then dumped his body in the kitchen.

 

[VOLatile]

What a stupid police officer. It should have been sent to the ME before he even formulated that hypothesis. Collect the data before jumping on that bandwagon. Leave it to Oklahoma.

Bet there are a lot of scientifically illiterate people in OK that believe he just went up in smoke.

 

[Vercingetorix]

Ah, good old spontaneous human combustion. A staple on "That's Incredible!" back in the day.

Heart attack followed by a dropped cigarette, most likely.

This type of thing has been chronicled throughout the years.. Bodies completely incinerated, but the chair they were sitting in isn't .

 

[tumscalcium]

CSI has an episode involving this. Haha

 

[Georgia Peach]

Was he a drummer for Spinal Tap?

It was reported this morning he is a heavy drinker. Maybe it contributed.

I saw pics of the inside of his house. There were obvious signs of fire in his home. But he was charred up more so

Too much cheese combined with Taco Bell. Kaboom in a fiery methane explosion.

Work of the devil, no doubt.

Bales of hay can "spontaneously combust"

You speak with familiarity about the devil don't you? You some kind of devil worshiper?

So will bales of cotton

 

[golfballs]

So will bales of cotton

Are many bales of cotton ever left to decompose?

They nor cotton have to be left to decompose.

Hay bales when green will ignite. Cotton will ignite after,bales tight, in a module builder. Walk by and punch it with your first. It can ignite. Some times days later.

I thought it was the decomposition that created heat and caused them to ignite

 

[GreveHaller]

Happened to the first drummer of Spinal Tap so its true. The movie was a documentary. And its on the internet.Cant put anything on the internet that isnt true

It can. But not necessary. Hay when baled green is hot. We have broke some open and they almost ignite instantly as soon as air hits them.

Over the years we have lost cotton just the same. In the winter during picking time I'd take my girl to the farm. Climb up in the trailer. Roll back some cotton to lay on and it would be 80-90 degrees. We would lay there and look at the stars.
