Just thinking about Spontaneous Human Combustion makes me uncomfortable. A person is sitting there, all alone, not doing anything dangerous or even strenuous. Suddenly, they burst into flames and burn to a crisp in so short a time period the furniture they are sitting on is hardly scorched.
Most of the body is reduced to ash in just a few minutes. It takes a crematorium on an average, about two to three hours at 2,000 degrees to cremate a human body, thereby reducing it to 3-7 pounds of cremains.
