Mysterious phenomenon of the body burns itself

On December 15, 1966, in the toilet of Dr. Bentley in Pennsylvania, there was a frightening thing: The floor was burned, and there was another human leg, other parts of the doctor's body. all burned into ash . Everything in the house has no trace of a fire. The police could not understand why the doctor died, so he made a report saying he smoked to fall

On clothes, sleep off and die, then skip.

But a cremation expert said that cremation must first bring the temperature to 1200 ^o C for 90 minutes, then cool it to 970 ^° C for 60-150 minutes. It was like that but there was still bone ash, not yet ashes. The temperature of the fire only reaches 800 ^o C. Therefore, the doctor cannot be burnt to ashes. If the doctor is burned by intense fire, the things in the room will not be intact. Scientists believe that the doctor burned himself.

The body is self-igniting is saying that the body does not exert heat from the outside, but rather inside the body to heat itself, ash, everything around it is nothing. Related to this phenomenon has been said for a long time. In 1673, an Italian medical document said that a Parisian had turned to ash on a grass bed , leaving only bones and fingers. The strange thing is, the night bed doesn't do anything.

Similar to this phenomenon, there is also the phenomenon of fire-breathing human body. The body had spontaneously fired fire, all within a few minutes burned. Fire sparks are easy to fire.

In the past 50 years, it is no longer strange for people to burn themselves, most recently on May 25, 1985, in London, England. That night, Mr. Risley, 19, was walking on the street, suddenly found himself burning, then caught fire, his chest, back, and wrists were burning, painful, and his head seemed to be boiled. He stopped his pain and ran to the nearby hospital. Because Risley is young and healthy, he is promptly rescued, so after a few weeks of treatment is gone.

For more than 300 years, scientists have proposed many theories, to explain the phenomenon of the body burning itself. Some people believe that the body burns itself related to too much flammable fat in the body, this layer of fat is like a liquid candle. In 200 cases that can burn themselves, it is unrelated to gender, age, fat and hobbies.

Some people think that in a human body there is a certain "current" , which can "short-circuit" the impact on a certain flammable substance in the body that causes the body structure to resolve. Others argue that too much phosphorus accumulates in the body that creates a "lightless flame". The latest hypothesis is that there are "burning particles" that are smaller than atoms, which can cause fire. These hypotheses are not the final conclusion.
