Spontaneous human combustion (SHC)

Spontaneous human combustion (SHC) is the claimed event where a person catches fire and burns up without any outside source of fire, such as a match or a candle. The human body is mostly water and cannot make enough heat to start burning on its own, until today ! pic.twitter.com/nMCffdMGhT
