The most likely cause of Spontaneous Human Combustion, I read in times Eureka, is that a lit cigarette accidentally ignites subcutaneous fats, which in turn ignite the rest of the body.
However as UK Skeptics point out ‘Cases of claimed SHC are rare which suggests that the conditions necessary for wick-effect burning to occur are also rare.’
The flames start to die away as the body fat is used up. So the way to reduce the risk, as a smoker, is to make sure you are as thin as possibly can be.
