Death by Spontaneous Combustion

[Bastard Factory]

SALLISAW, Okla. (CBS Houston/AP) Sequoyah County authorities say a man who died in a fire at his home may have spontaneously combusted. Danny Vanzandt, 66, died in the blaze on Monday.

Sequoyah County Sheriff Ron Lockhart says several neighbors entered the home when they saw smoke and assumed trash had caught fire. Then they realized a person was burning. Lockhart said the remains were in the kitchen and there was no other damage in the home. The sheriff says there was no apparent source of the fire. This is a case that I've never seen before, Lockhart told KFSM-TV.

Authorities say the man had a history of heavy drinking and smoking. No cause of the fire has been determined and Lockhart says spontaneous combustion has not been ruled out.

I think there's only about 200 cases worldwide, and I'm not saying this happened. I'm just saying that we haven't ruled it out, Lockhart told KFSM.

I read somewhere that a certain combination of life habits and environment might result in that.

Some of the chemicals found in our body could ignite spontaneously if they accumulate for long enough.

Yeah. There have been many mysterious cases of spontaneous combustion over the decades. Weird.

...although Oak is the only person know to actually reconstitute just in time to re-combust.

If memory serves, didn't Richard Pryor and Michael Jackson both spontaneously combust to death

MJ was only slightly injured during his combustion, while RP was very injured, but did not died either.

This is my experience

In places where they peel coffee beans, it's a norm to never leave the peels accumulate too much for too long

When you dig a pile of coffee peels, the lower layers tend to be very hot and they might burn if they're allowed to sit undisturbed for too long

When it rains and the peels become drenched, the process will accelerate when the sun comes out and it gets hotter.
