Did you all see that relatively "new" segment of Unsolved Mysteries which explored SHC? (Spontaneous Human Combustion)?

There is a series called THE UNEXPLAINED which also had a program over the topic.

In my opinion, Spontaneous Human Combustion is REAL. It really happens. However, I cannot say how it happens.

How is it that the human body can set itself on fire? Why are the fires in cases of suspected SHC so localized? And how can the fires become so incredibly hot that almost the whole body is consumed and changed to ash?

What do you think?

I think it's really scary, especially if you can't do anything to prevent it.

I belive Spon. human combustion is real too. Seems like most of the shows I have seen about it are in England tho??? I think I recall hearing that in a lot of the cases the person had been drinking and so alcohol is considered a possible link. I dont understand why its regarded as a joke to many scientists when they so obviously died by their own combustion. Did you ever hear about the case where that elderly man combusted while on the toilet? I saw the pictures, they were gruesome.
