»» Alchoholism - many Spontaneous Human Combustion vicitms have been alcoholics. But experiments in the 19th century demonstrated that flesh impregnated with alcohol will not burn with the intense heat associated with Spontaneous Human Combustion.
»» Deposits of flammable body fat - Many victims have been overweight - yet others have been skinny.
»» Divine Intervention - Centuries ago people felt that the explosion was a sign from God of divine punishment.
»» Build-up of static electricity - no known form of electrostatic discharge could cause a human to burst into flames.
»» Chemicals in Body - An explosive combination of chemicals can form in the digestive system due to poor diet.
»» Electrical fields in Human body - might be capable of 'short circuiting' somehow, that some sort of atomic chain reaction could generate tremendous internal heat.
No satisfactory explanation of Spontaneous Human Combustion has ever been given. It is still an unsolved mystery.
