spontaneous human combustion

Spontaneous human combustion (SHC) refers to rare cases where a person seemingly catches fire without an obvious external source, leading to their body being heavily burned while nearby surroundings remain relatively intact. While some theories suggest factors like accidental ignition from internal body processes or external sparks, scientific explanations remain inconclusive. Many experts believe SHC may result from a combination of static electricity, poor personal hygiene, or external sources like cigarettes, combined with factors such as alcohol consumption or body fat. Overall, SHC is considered extremely rare and remains a topic of debate, with no definitive scientific proof of a unique internal combustion process.
