"Nurse minmusda street, 403. Yes! This is it. " Guzinier walked to the door and said to himself. "good! The doctor is at home! " He said happily, so he immediately stepped forward and rang the doorbell. The bell rang for a long time, but no one came out to meet the guests. Guzinier felt a little strange. So he pushed open the door and walked into the room. "Dr Bentley! Hello! " He shouted loudly that he, the doctor, would hear his voice in the restaurant. However, after several calls, no one answered. Guzinier is even weirder.
"Look at the gas meter first!" He often comes here and is familiar with the doorway, so he goes to the kitchen. At this time, he began to smell a strange smell, and the more he went to the kitchen, the stronger the smell. It's not the smell, it's the smell like starting the heater.
"What's burnt?" He came to the door of the kitchen to himself and saw a pile of conical black ash on the ground in the middle of the kitchen, about 35 cm high, which is estimated to be enough to fill a small bucket. Guzinier poked the black ash with his foot and found that there was no trace of burning on the ground.
"Everything is all right!" As he spoke, he went to the stove, looked at the gas meter and wrote down the numbers. "Dr. Benatali is so unfriendly that he hasn't come out to eat for a long time!" He walked out of the kitchen while thinking. "The old man may be sick! Well, since I'm here, I should go upstairs and see what he needs! "
Thinking of this, he went straight upstairs. Came to the bedroom, opened the door and saw the room was full of smoke. Then I looked at the bed, and there was no one there. He was a little surprised at first and looked around quickly. When his eyes turned to the bathroom in the bedroom, he was shocked. The door of the toilet is open. There are two crutches beside the sitting toilet. There is a black hole on the floor under the crutch. The scene next to the cave is creepy: the doctor has become a pile of black charcoal, only his right leg is still lying on the ground intact, and his feet are still wearing leather shoes.
Seeing this, Guzinier snorted, hurried back and ran, ran out of the door, came to the street, and went straight to the office of the gas company. On entering the door, people saw him panting, pale and stammered, "Dr. Ban ... Ban Wright was ... burned to death."
When people from the gas company and the police station came to Dr. Bentley's house, they found the kitchen downstairs under the black hole in the toilet. The black hole is irregular in shape, with a length of 1.5 m and a width of 0.5 m, and all around the hole are burnt. The ashes of Dr. Bentley's body fell down the hole into the kitchen downstairs, leaving only a small pile of black ashes on the ground.
What Guzinier saw was an extremely rare phenomenon in the world-human self-immolation.
Soon, the police rushed to the scene, but could not understand the cause of death, and finally closed the case hastily. It was announced that the deceased smoked in bed and his clothes caught fire after falling asleep. However, a cremation expert pointed out that a body was reduced to ashes. First, it should be burned at 2200 degrees Fahrenheit for 90 minutes, and then it should be burned at 60-1800 degrees Fahrenheit for 50 minutes. Even so, after cremation, the body is just broken bones and ashes. The worst house is on fire, and the temperature will not exceed Fahrenheit 1500 degrees. So it is impossible for the old man to burn to ashes because of the fire. Besides, the fire that can burn him to ashes, let alone the whole house will be burned down, even the aluminum frame of the walking tractor will melt.
Scientists believe that Dr. Bentley died in spontaneous human combustion (SHC). Spontaneous human combustion refers to the phenomenon that the human body does not contact with the external flame, but spontaneously burns inside and turns into ashes, while all combustible materials around the ashes remain the same.
The first spontaneous human combustion incident in history was recorded in an Italian medical document in 1673. A man named Parisian lay on a straw mat and turned to ashes, leaving only his skull and a few phalanges. But the straw mattress bed is still the same except for the part where he lies. 1744, there was a 60-year-old Mrs. Pat in Ipswich, England. One morning, her daughter found her dead on the floor, like a charred piece of wood, but the clothes near her were intact. There are more than 200 similar historical records.
/kloc-Libitch, a German chemist in the 20th century, imagined spontaneous human combustion, which may be caused by excessive alcohol content in the body. He did an experiment to find out to what extent fresh meat filled with alcohol could spontaneously ignite, but it didn't work. 186 1 year, the famous forensic doctor Caspar denied spontaneous human combustion in his Handbook of Practical Forensic Medicine. He doesn't think this phenomenon exists at all. "186 1 year today, if there are honest scientists who want to solve the myth of spontaneous human combustion, it's really sad. All the certificates about' spontaneous combustion' are completely unbelievable and are provided by people without professional knowledge. "
Although Caspar denied the spontaneous human combustion phenomenon, many scientists still devoted themselves to studying and investigating this problem. A man named Charles Ford collected several events in spontaneous human combustion in detail.
For example1May, 957 18, in Philadelphia, USA, anna martin, a 68-year-old widow, was reduced to ashes in a room without a fire source, leaving only her shoes and a small part of her torso. The forensic doctor said that at this level, the temperature should be at least as high as 1700-2000 degrees Fahrenheit. However, the stove went out and all the articles, including the newspaper two feet away from the dead, remained unchanged.
Ford recorded the most detailed spontaneous human combustion incident, 195 1 year 1 month 7 in St. Petersburg, Florida. In the evening, Mrs. Mary, 67, sat comfortably in the soft chair. When her son left, he saw that his mother was fine. But less than 12 hours later, my son came to his mother's room and found a terrible scene. In the hot room, there is no mother or chair. There are several hair clips on the ground, which means that there was a pile of hair, and the rest were a few burnt vertebrae, a skull shrunk to the size of a baseball and an intact left arm. The newspaper near the body and a piece of linen a few inches away showed no signs of burning.
Dr. krogh Mann, who enjoys the reputation of "skeleton expert", investigated the cause of death of Mrs. Mary, and the result was:
(1) There are no flammable chemicals in the whole room, and her bones will only become like that after a high temperature of 3000 degrees Fahrenheit.
(2) There was no fire, and no fire source was found in the whole room. The maximum temperature of a house on fire is generally Fahrenheit 1500 degrees, but the actual temperature is twice that. In that case, the whole apartment should be burned down.
(3) This lady weighs 77kg, but after burning to ashes, the whole building has no smell.
(4) Shrinking the skull. Forensic experts know that the high temperature that can burn the fat tissue of the deceased and dehydrate it should burn all the soft tissues of the skull at the same time, so as not to rupture the skull, but Mrs. Reese doesn't know.
Clogg Mann can't explain the above four points.
For more than 300 years, scientists have been exploring this problem. Scientists have found from more than 200 cases that the ratio of male to female is similar, ranging from 4 months to 1 14 years old. Alcohol consumption and body fat. Some cases occurred while walking, driving, boating and dancing.
Some people think that spontaneous human combustion is related to too much combustible fat in the body, and compare this fat to lighted candle oil, and clothes are like candle cores. Some people think that there is a natural "electric fluid" in the human body, which can cause the burning of flammable substances in the body and even cause the "in vivo decomposition" of highly flammable substances. Others believe that excessive accumulation of phosphorus in the body produces a "blazing flame".
A recent explanation is from the perspective of physics. Some people think that there may be "burning particles" smaller than atoms in the body, which can cause combustion.
In any case, the phenomenon of human self-immolation is still a strange mystery to scientists and researchers, and Dr. Bentley's self-immolation is an example. Professor Joan Dick, a forensic doctor, was very confused after seeing the scene of Dr. Bentley's self-immolation, and some questions could not be answered at all.
Others try to explain it with pure theory. For example, Dr. Bentley is old and weak, but he has been smoking for many years. It is estimated that he was sitting in the room smoking, and the fireworks fell on his coat, but he didn't notice. When he came to the toilet, his coat caught fire, so he took off his coat and threw it into the bathtub. This assertion is mainly based on the fact that there are many holes in Dr. Bentley's coat burned by soot. However, this statement can't explain why Dr. Bennett burned to ashes, but his coat didn't. Ashes would never have such a great ability to ignite.
Secondly, burning clothes will never produce so much energy to burn a living person to ashes. Moreover, the fire broke out in the toilet, and the house was small. If you want to burn a person, there is not enough oxygen in the air in this room. So, where did you get so much oxygen?
Besides, when Dunn Gulzar, an employee of the gas company, walked into Dr. Bentley's house, why didn't he smell the burnt human flesh? If there is a fire, the fire first started from the dormitory, so why is there no trace of fire in the dormitory? Besides, just a few centimeters away from where Dr. Bentley set himself on fire is the bath. I found that the black paint outside the bath was still there and didn't fall off at all. More strangely, why is there only one leg left in the body, but the leg is intact, and the shoes on the feet have no traces of fire?
Professor Dick said: "What we found was only a part of the body-a calf. In addition, there is a pile of ashes on the floor of the kitchen downstairs, and the kneecaps of the thighs are found in the ashes. "
Professor Dick is a forensic doctor. He analyzed: "I once saw a car accident. Several cars collided and a fire broke out. There are three people in the car. The fire is so strong that it is difficult for anyone to get close to the car to save people. After the fire broke out, three people in the car were burned by the fire. From many parts of the body, that is, the chest, limbs and teeth, some wheel corridors can still be identified. However, the phenomenon of human self-immolation is completely different. More than 90% of the body has been reduced to ashes, which is really rare and puzzling. "
2. Various phenomena in spontaneous human combustion abroad In a small hotel in a small town in the United States, the hotel owner Miller had a nagging wife who got drunk every day. 1February, 725 19 in the evening, the hotel was full because many people came to attend the grand fair the next day. Miller and his wife went to bed early. Mrs. Miller couldn't sleep and went downstairs alone. She usually gets drunk in front of the burning stove in the kitchen. By this time, Miller had fallen asleep, but at about two o'clock in the morning, he suddenly woke up. Smelling the smoke, he ran downstairs and knocked on the door all the way to wake up the guests. When the panicked guest came to the big kitchen, he saw that it was not the kitchen but Mrs. Miller who was on fire. She lay by the fire, almost burned out, leaving only part of her head, limbs and several spines. Everything in the room is intact and not burning.
Just then, a policeman and two gendarmes were patrolling nearby. When they heard a crowd in the hotel, they went in and asked. When they saw Mrs Mipo's smoking body, they immediately arrested Miller, suspecting that he was the murderer. People in the town have long known that Mrs. Miller is not only an alcoholic, but also a bitch, so they suspect that the troubled Miller deliberately killed his wife in order to fly with a maid in the hotel. The prosecution alleged that Miller spilled the remaining wine in the bottle on his wife after she was drunk, then set her on fire, and then managed to arrange it, which made people believe that it was an accident.
It is said that the young doctor Rigat also ran downstairs at the time of the incident and saw Mrs. Miller's charred body with his own eyes. He testified for Miller in the trial, saying that the victim's body was completely burned, but the head and limbs were left behind, and the nearby objects were completely unaffected, which was obviously not caused by human factors. There was a heated debate in court, and the prosecution insisted that Miller was the murderer. Miller was found guilty and sentenced to death. However, Ricard continued to issue a statement, pointing out that this incident could never be an ordinary arson and murder case, but "God's punishment". As a result, the court revoked the verdict and declared Miller innocent. However, poor Miller also ruined his life. After the blow, he was extremely depressed and spent the rest of his life in the hospital.
Another Italian priest, Bedoli, suddenly caught fire while praying. He is one of the few victims who can survive for a few days after spontaneous combustion. Battaglia, the doctor who treated him, reported this in a magazine in Florence in 17761October.
At the time of the incident, Betty was traveling all over the country and arrived at her brother-in-law's house one night. She was led by her brother-in-law to a temporary room. As the shirt he was wearing was made of horse hair, which made his shoulders uncomfortable, he asked for a handkerchief as soon as he entered the room, so as to separate the shirt from his shoulders. Then, he stayed alone in his room and prayed.
A few minutes later, the priest's cry of pain came from the room, and the whole house rushed into his room at once. They saw Betty lying on the ground, surrounded by a small flame, but when they came forward to check, the flame gradually subsided and finally went out. The next morning, Betty was examined by Dr. battaglia. He found that the skin of the injured person's right arm was almost completely separated from the muscle and hung on the bone, and the skin from the shoulder to the thigh was also damaged. The most serious part of the burn is the right hand, which has begun to rot. Although Dr. battaglia treated him immediately, the injured person's condition deteriorated. He kept saying that he was thirsty and wanted to drink water, and his whole body twitched surprisingly. It is said that the chair he sat in was covered with "rotten and disgusting substances" Bedouins have been suffering from fever, delirium, vomiting again, and died in a coma on the fourth day.
Dr battaglia couldn't find any signs of infection in Betty. The most terrible thing is that before his death, his body began to rot and maggots began to grow.
Battaglia remembers that when Betty Dolly was sent to him for the first time, his right hand seemed to be hit by a stick and there was a "flickering flame" on his shirt. He quickly burned his shirt to ashes, but the cuffs were intact. And strangely, the handkerchief placed between the shirt and the shoulder was not burnt, and the trousers were intact. Although his hair was not burnt, his hat was completely burnt. There is no sign of fire in the room. However, an oil lamp originally filled with oil has been completely exhausted and the wick has been burned to ashes.
In another case, Dr. overton published an article in the Journal of Tennessee Medical Association, describing that Hamilton, a professor at Nashville University in that state, was injured by "local spontaneous combustion". 1835 1 On May 5th, Professor Hamilton came home from college. It was very cold that day, and the thermometer showed that the temperature was only 8 degrees Fahrenheit.
Suddenly, he felt a burning pain in his left leg as if he had been stung by a wasp. He looked down and saw flames more than ten centimeters high on his legs, the diameter of which was the size of a silver coin, and the top was flat. He immediately slapped with his hand, but he couldn't put out the flame. Fortunately, Professor Hamilton kept calm and remembered that the flame would go out automatically without oxygen supply, so he arched his hands into his chest to cover the burning place and the fire really went out.
However, he still feels severe pain. After entering the room, he immediately took off his pants and underwear and examined the wound. He saw that the wound was about 3 cm wide and 10 cm long, dry and bluish black. The lower left leg is stretched obliquely. He checked his underwear again and found that the place facing the wound had been burned through, but there was no sign of burning around the hole. The strangest thing is that the trousers are intact, but there are a lot of dark yellow fluff near the bottom of the burnt underwear, which can be scraped off with a knife.
Although the wound is different from the ordinary wound in some places, the doctor who diagnosed Hamilton still treated it as an ordinary burn after examination. The wound is deep and takes 32 days to heal. After healing, the muscles around the wound still ache for a long time, and the scar is unusually blue-black.
In England, a strange fire broke out in a village near Southampton, killing the Keeleys. 1905 On the morning of February 26, 2005, neighbors heard screams coming from Keeley's house. When they went in, they found that the house was on fire.
Mr. Keeley lay on the ground, completely reduced to ashes. Mrs. Keeley sat in an easy chair. "Although it has been burnt into black charcoal, it is still recognizable." The police found a table overturned and an oil lamp fell to the ground in the house, but they didn't understand how an oil lamp could cause this disaster. Strangely, Mrs. Keeley's easy chair didn't burn out.
1907, two patrolmen found a charred female body in Manna village near Dinabo, India. They gave the smoking body and complete clothes to the judge. According to the patrolman, there was no sign of fire in the room when the body was found.
There are two sisters named Dewar in Whitley Bay near Bryce, England. They are retired school teachers. My sister's name is Margaret and my sister's name is Wilhelmina. 1908 On the evening of March 22nd, Margaret ran to her neighbor's house and told her sister that she had been burned to death. Neighbors walked into her house and found Wilhelmina's charred body lying in bed. There is no sign of fire on the bed and bed, and there is no sign of fire in the house.
During the inquest into the cause of death, Margaret said many times that she found her sister's body lying on the bed, just as the neighbors saw it. But the coroner thinks that the bed didn't burn, so how can people burn to ashes? He accused Margaret of lying, threatened to sue her, and was temporarily remanded in custody during the trial.
Neighbors and public opinion do not believe Margaret's confession. Margaret was forced to admit perjury at the retrial. She said that she did see Wilhelmina on fire at home, but she was still alive. After she put out the fire, she helped her sister upstairs and put her on the bed, but soon her sister died.
Although there was no sign of fire downstairs, the coroner thought this statement was more reasonable than Margaret's original statement.
The coroner declared Wilhelmina's death an "accidental burn". However, he later said that this case was one of the strangest cases he had ever investigated.
1 March, 9531day, Mr. Wood was found burning black charcoal in the front seat of his car with closed doors and windows in the marginal town of South Carolina. At that time, his car was parked beside the 29 1 highway, and there was still half a box of gasoline in the tank. There is no damage to the whole car except that the windshield is sunken inward due to heat foaming.
Yang Xijin, a 78-year-old disabled person, lives atNo. 1 130, Monaque Ya Street, Honolulu. 19561February, his neighbors found him surrounded by blue flames. Fifteen minutes later, when the fireman arrived, his body and chair had burned to ashes. However, the feet on the opposite wheelchair are intact, and even the surrounding furniture and curtains are not damaged.
The victims in spontaneous human combustion are rarely children, but Prewitt in Rochford, Illinois is an exception. The four-month-old baby died of severe burns in the spring of 1959, but his clothes were not burnt and the bedding on the bed was not damaged.
1950 10 One night, 19-year-old Miss Andrews and her boyfriend Clifford danced in a nightclub in London. Suddenly, her chest and back caught fire and her hair burst into flames. Clifford and other guests tried to put out the fire, but they couldn't save her life.
Clifford testified in court that no one smoked on the dance floor, there were no candles on the table, and I didn't see anything burning her clothes. I know it's hard to believe, but in fact I think the flame is coming from her body.
Other witnesses also agreed with him. As a result, the court ruled that Miss Andrews "died in an unexplained fire". Peterson, a 30-year-old auto worker in Pontiac, Michigan, has been depressed for several months because of his poor health. 19591February 13 at 7: 45 pm, he was found dead in his car, apparently committing suicide. At that time, the seat beside the driver's seat was still smoking, and the exhaust pipe twisted into the compartment with closed doors and windows.
The doctor examined his body and said that he died of carbon monoxide poisoning, but why did he only have serious burns on his back, legs and arms, while other parts were completely intact? At first, investigators thought that the smoke of the car might have heat. Later, they suspected murder, but none of them could explain Peterson's death.
In an accident in spontaneous human combustion, there were more than one victim, but six. The following is 19761the report of the Nigerian Herald on February 27th:
Six members of a family of seven in Lagos were burned to death ... which became the most difficult mystery to solve.
According to yesterday's field investigation, everything in the wooden house is intact, and even two cotton mattresses are neatly placed on two iron frames. ...
The fire that killed six people seems harmless to the whole room ... but judging from the serious situation of the deceased, the objects in the room, including the wooden walls and the iron sheets on the roof, should have disappeared.
Although there was an early legend that someone poured gasoline from the window while his family was asleep and then set fire to it, yesterday's investigation proved that this statement could not be established.
There is a man and a woman in Brussels, Belgium, named Les and Mona Mi. When they kissed on the boulevard, their backs suddenly caught fire and the flame jumped to 4.6 meters high. Within 30 seconds, they were all reduced to ashes.
1February 5, 985, London. That night, 19-year-old Polly Leslie was walking in the street. Suddenly, he felt hot all over. He looked around and found that his body was breathing fire. The fire burst into flames at once, and it grew stronger and stronger. He tried to run, but he fell heavily after a few steps. When death approached him, the flame suddenly went out. Fortunately, Leslie was young and strong, and under the careful treatment of the doctor, she recovered and was discharged after a few weeks.
Spontaneous human combustion phenomenon was not recognized by the scientific community in the 20th century. It is not listed in the international classification of diseases compiled by the World Health Organization, nor in the American Index of Biology and Doctors or the National Library of Medicine. Although the police, firefighters, arson experts, coroners and pathologists have presented a lot of evidence, most doctors and scientists still believe that those seemingly indisputable cases have not been thoroughly investigated.
However, not all generations have this skepticism. In the17th and18th centuries, the spontaneous human combustion phenomenon, especially the cases that happened to drinkers, was generally regarded as the punishment of God. In the19th century, due to the progress of biology and chemistry, researchers were able to find the causes of these obscure fires from a non-religious perspective. They put forward more possibilities, including a combination of one or more of the following:
Intestinal gas burns easily.
The human body will produce combustible gas.
The heat generated by hay piles and fertilizer piles is enough to cause spontaneous combustion.
Some elements or mixtures will automatically catch fire once exposed to the air, such as phosphorus, one of the human elements.
Some chemicals are not active by themselves, but when they are mixed with other things, they will cause explosions.
The luminescence of some insects and fish indicates that there may be internal fire.
A large number of substances contained in the human body are excellent fuels.
Static electricity produces sparks, which may cause human body to catch fire in some cases.
However, more and more facts prove that none of the above assumptions is the real reason for spontaneous human combustion. 195 1 year, a german chemist once pointed out that people who drink a lot of brandy will not catch fire even if they are close to the fire. Later, in the late19th century, several doctors claimed that they didn't understand why people with more alcohol in water would catch fire. 1On April 22nd, 905, the American Medical Journal made a head-on attack on those who believed in spontaneous human combustion, pointing out that "almost half of all the published events in spontaneous human combustion came from this neurotic country".
In order to test the theory that alcohol can make people highly flammable, scientists first soaked mice in alcohol for one year and then set them on fire. As a result, the skin of the mouse caught fire, and the muscles under the skin were burnt, but the internal tissues and organs were still intact.
Later, they experimented with museum specimens soaked in alcohol for a longer time, and the result was the same.
Combustible gases produced by the digestive system may indeed accumulate in the human body, causing danger. A priest in Britain was warned not to blow out the candles on the altar, lest the exhaled gas catch fire.
Static electricity may also be a cause. According to national fire protection association's fire prevention manual, the electrostatic load accumulated by human body can reach several thousand volts, and electricity can be released through hair, which generally does not cause harm. However, in some special circumstances, such people may cause explosions, such as factories that manufacture flammable materials or hospital operating rooms that use gas anesthetics.
3. China spontaneous human combustion Phenomenon Report China Xinhua News Agency once sent such a message about spontaneous human combustion, which also aroused readers' interest.
1April, 990 15 in the morning, a 4-year-old boy named Tang Jiang, a villager from Group 8 of Xingxing Village, Wangchunmen Office, Xiangxiang City, Hunan Province, suddenly caught fire in his crotch. The adults hurriedly took off three pairs of trousers and saw that the first pair of cloth trousers and the second pair of acrylic trousers were burnt out with a hole of about 3 cm, and the third pair of Panamanian trousers was also burnt out. At the same time, two burning holes of 1 1.5 cm were found in the foot. Look at the child's body. There are pale yellow spots on his legs and feet. The mother just put on a pair of underwear for the child, and the pants burned in the same place again.
For the safety of children, adults stripped off their clothes, wrapped up their beds and sent them to Xiangxiang Central Hospital for treatment. The doctor diagnosed it as allergic electrostatic reaction and comforted him by saying that it doesn't matter, just take some medicine. Unexpectedly, after the child came home, he lay in bed for less than 3 minutes and screamed again. The family lifted the quilt and saw a fireball of 1 cm on the right thigh, which landed on the bed sheet in the blue flame and immediately burned through the bed sheet. The people present quickly put out the fireball. The child's thigh burned a bubble the size of a 2 cent coin, and the whole body also issued a spark similar to that of a lighter. The child grabbed it with his own hands, and his fingers were burned into pale yellow burn spots.
Adults also sent their children to the New Technology Emergency Research Center of the Affiliated Hospital of Hunan Medical College in Changsha. The child's physical health was checked with medical instruments, and everything was normal without any abnormality. Doctors say this kind of spontaneous human combustion is the first case since the founding of the People's Republic of China.
There was a case in Beijing that someone else was burned while doing work. After a comprehensive examination of children and expert consultation, it is found that the instantaneous current, resistance and voltage of children are obviously higher than those of normal children of the same age. As for the causes of spontaneous combustion and fire burn, further observation and research are needed. The child did not spontaneously combust again during hospitalization.
According to the child's grandmother, the child's parents got married on 1985 1 month, and the child was born in Xiangxiang Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital on129/0/0 in the same year. When I was born, the hospital lights went out for about 2 minutes, for unknown reasons. When I checked my body, I found that my child had scleroderma and got pneumonia 40 days later. Four years of growth is the same as that of ordinary boys. Nothing unusual was found.
This is really a bit strange.
4. Is "mysterious ray" the chief culprit of spontaneous combustion? A German woman went to the beach to get a tan. Unexpectedly, for the first time in the sun, something strange happened and my body caught fire.
Jeddah, 28, and her friend Catherine are from Frankfurt, Germany. They work as secretaries. 1990 summer vacation, they decided to travel and entertain in Dominica. The next day, they flew to the seaside in Dominica. It was very hot then, and they were sunbathing on the beach. An hour later, Catherine felt too hot, so she went to rest in the shade not far away and fell asleep unconsciously. Three hours later, she woke up and saw Jeda still exposed to the sun. Catherine ran to persuade Jay to hide in the shade. At this time, Jeddah had been blistered by the scorching sun, but she didn't listen to her friends' advice.
At this moment, Catherine suddenly smelled a burning smell. Look at Jeda again. There is a puff of smoke coming out of her mouth. Catherine hurried to hold her hand and felt her skin burning hot. Jeddah began to moan, and then she was hot all over.
It all happened in a flash, and Catherine screamed with fear. The cry for help alarmed the lifeguard. When they arrived and threw water at Jeddah, it was too late. She has become a pile of smoking ashes.
The coroner said after examining the bones that it was a rare spontaneous combustion fire. People's understanding of this phenomenon is not complete, just like the phenomenon in spontaneous human combustion. However, some experts believe that this incident is related to the strong radiation of the sun, and remind people who like sunbathing not to stay in the sun for too long, and make some necessary preventive preparations before sunbathing to prevent accidents.
There are many records of spontaneous human combustion abroad in history. But the most
