Spontaneous human combustion

So let me paint a picture for you...

You’re sitting there watching TV eating popcorn. You smell smoke.
Two minutes later you go up in a ball of flames. The house is fine. The chair you were sitting on is fine. But you're burnt to a crisp. There was a documentary on A&E television where they claim to have several cases. Something about alcohol and body fat creating a chemical explosive reaction. Who the hell knows.

I found it fascinating but at the same time hard to believe. But if you see the pics there isn't any way of explaining it other than your body decided to start a bonfire.

I saw that like 8 years ago, and I remember a common fact in all the cases, which was that there happened to be a cigarette found near the individual who seemingly underwent spontaneous combustion.

It actually is possible. If an electrician w/ full insulating body suit works on a live electrical equipment and gets shocked, the energy might not dissipate immediately. But rather it could be stored in the body acting like a capacitor, then suddenly all that energy combusts/explodes when the insulating suit comes off. When a guy gets shocked and he seems fine, don't touch him.
