1949 12 15 A 53-year-old woman named Coles in New Hampshire, USA, was burned to death at home. In the investigation, Manchester police found that there was a horrible corpse lying on the floor of the room that didn't look like a human figure, but the items in the room were not damaged at all, the fireplace was never used, and even the fire could not be found elsewhere. The Associated Press reported: "This woman must have burned like a fireball, but the flame didn't burn any wood in her house." This fact is surprising.
195 1 year, Mrs. Li Ze in St. Petersburg, Florida was found dead in her house, which was reduced to ashes without any damage. In this case, the investigators used various modern scientific methods to determine the ins and outs of this mysterious accident. However, despite the concerted efforts of the FBI, arson experts, fire department officials and pathologist Qi Xin, it took a year to figure out the incident.
At the scene of the accident, except for the chair and the coffee table next to it, other furniture was not seriously damaged, but there was a strange phenomenon in the house: the ceiling, curtains and walls above 4 feet from the ground were covered with a layer of unpleasant oil smoke, while the walls below 4 feet were not. The paint on the wall next to the chair was baked a little yellow, but the carpet on which the chair was placed did not burn through. In addition, a wall mirror away from 10 feet may be broken due to the influence of heat; /kloc-two candles on the dresser 0/2 feet away have melted, but the wick remains intact on the candlestick; The plastic socket more than 4 feet above the wall has also melted, but the fuse has not blown, and the current is still smooth, so that the power socket of the skirting line is not damaged. The electric clock connected to a melting socket stopped, and the time on it just pointed to 4: 20. When the electric clock is connected with the intact socket on the bottom plate, it can still continue to walk. Some flammable items nearby, such as newspapers, tablecloths and curtains on the table, are intact.
In other parts of the world, there are cases of spontaneous human combustion like Mrs. Li Ze, and there are various forms of spontaneous combustion. Some people are only slightly burned, while others are reduced to ashes. What is even more incredible is that the beds, chairs and even clothes worn by the victims are sometimes not burned. What's more, some people are burned all over, but one foot, one leg or some fingers are still intact. In Paris, France, a woman who was addicted to spirits spontaneously burned to death in her sleep one night. Only her head and fingers were left, and the rest were burned to ashes.
In the previous spontaneous human combustion incident, the proportion of victims was roughly equal, ranging from infants to 1 14-year-old people, many of whom were physically weak. Some spontaneously ignite near the fire source, and some spontaneously ignite when driving or walking in a place without fire source.
Today, however, modern science and medicine deny spontaneous human combustion's statement. Although some theories have been put forward, there has been no reasonable physiological argument to explain how the human body spontaneously ignites or even turns to ashes, because it is possible to burn all the bone marrow and tissues of the human body only in a high-pressure crematorium with a temperature exceeding 3000 degrees Fahrenheit. Then, it is even more mysterious that there are still intact clothes or some intact skin on the charred body.
