From the article:

Deaths attributed by some to "spontaneous combustion" occur when a living human body is burned without an apparent external source of ignition.
Guess spontaneous combustion sounds better than "we failed at our job and have no idea why this dude burnt".

You know, anytime I hear something about Spontaneous Combustion it makes me want to reach for some marshmallows.
You think there might be something wrong with me? hmmm?
I also get hungry while disecting something in an anatomy lab.

Awesome! That must be a horrible way to die but it is really awesome to read about and imagining the guy just randomly exploding.

Wasn't there this old guy that lived in a trailer who SURVIVED spontaneous human combustion? He woke up choking on the smoke, and his arm was on fire, with no apparent source. He didn't feel any pain whatsoever, he just put the fire out and called 911. I saw it in a documentary somewhere...

It's just like Spinal Tap. Also the weirdest death I have ever heard of came from Ireland as well. A woman let her dog fuck her, she had an allergic reaction to its cum and died! That's fucked up! Ireland rules :L

I don't actually believe in God. But when I hear or read about spontaneous combustion, I can only ever imagine the traditional white-bearded-man-on-a-cloud sighing and saying "Meh, this shit's boring, better randomly incinerate someone."

My sympathies to those who were close to him. Losing a loved one is hard; losing one to a confusing, pointless and inexplicable tragedy is harder.

Translation: "DERP! We can't find the source of the fire!"

I'm always highly dubious of spontaneous combustion theories.
People don't burst into flames for no reason.

There's no such thing as spontaneous combustion. Coroners usually use the term when they find no identifiable means of combustion. People don't just catch on fire for no reason at all. Don't take the media seriously, think of it as entertainment and nothing else.

This is totally INSANE!!

You have adequately blown my mind for the day, and due to this feeling I now fear my own spontaneous combustion!!!

Without making any german sex jokes, i actually think she was from Germany.. She died of Anafylactic Shock, like if you would try to commit suicide on Antihistamines..

OT: Its a crazy world we live in.. Kinda makes you think before lighting up another cigarette..

"Oh dear, I feel tired. I should probably go to bed, but first I'll have a smoke. I sure hope I don't fall asleep with this cigarette/cigar in my mouth, oh lordy no!"

Chances are the OAP somehow took a nap during a smoke, it fell out of his mouth and lit him up like a Christmas tree. Obviously he wakes up, sees that he's managed to set himself ablaze, leaps up, snuffs it through sheer surprise, hits the floor and continues to slow-roast down there for a bit.
