Spontaneous combusti: Please don't lose sleep over this - There is NO scientific evidence to suggest that humans - alive or dead "spontaneously" burst into flames. Almost all reports in the literature are of obese people - sometimes alcoholics and smokers. A source of ignition is generally found - cigarette or candle. see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spontaneous_human_combustion.
