Spontaneous spontaneous combustion of a person. Ireland

In 2010, a similar case was recorded in Ireland. 76-year-old Michael Faherty was found on the floor of their own home with multiple burns. The room where the body was, was not affected by the fire.

The medical examiner came to the conclusion that it was SHC. Pathologist Mike green argues that such cases must be a reasonable explanation, but find it is not yet possible, because of the body when "ignition" are destroyed so that the catalyst fire remains.

Some scientists suggest that the reason for this phenomenon may be an excessive amount of acetone that is produced by the human body: most of the victims were alcoholics or diabetics.

Michael Faerti was 76-year-old man who lived in Galway, Ireland. 22 Dec 2010 it almost completely burned body was found in his home between the extinct fireplace and an armchair in which he sat before the incident.

The surface of the body Faerti almost turned into solid black ashes and only the lower legs and feet were completely untouched. Also the fire didn't touch anything from the situation in the room, except the floor under the body.

At first sight it was clear that it is something unusual, and most likely one of those mysterious cases of spontaneous combustion of the man, who still are unable to prove scientifically.

Discovered the fire his neighbour by the name of Manon, which is in the middle of the night sensed a strong smell of burning. Mannon went outside and saw a half-opened window of the house Faerti is dark smoke. The knock on the door no one answered and then he called the fire Department.

Body Faerti lay on her back, head towards the fireplace, however, been proved that the fire did not come from the fireplace. It is possible that the fire engulfed the man's body when he sat or slept in the chair, after which he had only to get up after collapsing to the floor.

And investigators, and the coroner, and the pathologist was baffled by this strange death. According to the coroner, Kieran McLoughlin, for 25 years of service he had never encountered this unusual case.

The pathologist was able to detect the condition of the internal organs of the deceased that he was diabetic and suffered from high blood pressure, but his heart the night was all right and that death was not a heart attack. The real cause of death of men remained unclear, officially due to "too extensive damage from burns".

When the cause of the accident was eventually declared spontaneous combustion, the police received a great deal of criticism, as such most people believe fiction.

Critics have stated that most likely just fell from the fire ember and burned the robe Faerti. However, how can we explain that Faerti continued to sit in a chair and burning alive and didn't even Wake up? He wasn't drunk that night.

And when he woke up, why he immediately collapsed dead on the floor and couldn't run away? Surely by the time he was so badly burned? But why, then, sheathing neither of the two chairs facing the fireplace, is not damaged by fire? Could'flaherty light when he stood by the fireplace? Completely. But again, really it happened so instantly that he could not then back away from the fireplace on a step?

In a panic, when the fire covers your body, you are likely to rush anywhere, at breakneck speed, only to find water or a blanket to extinguish the flames. You won't stand still. If only spontaneous combustion was not really spontaneous and very quickly covered the whole body of a man, burning the skin. In this case, he would immediately crumble, dying of shock.

The issues in this case are still more than answers, but the investigation has long been officially closed.
