So I woke up and saw this article

http://www.inquisitr.com/1895409/rajeshwari-karnan-mother-claims-burned-son-spontaneously-combusted-and-its-not-the-first-time/

 

And also the case of a 'Frank Baker', who starred in a documentary on the Science Channel. He claims to have survived and that a doctor concluded his skin had burnt from the inside out.

I've also heard tales of how people's skin feels hot, and emits smoke, leaving blisters behind.

 

What do you think? This runs contrary to what my biology professor taught me - that high heat destroys the proteins which run metabolism at a temperature much below the temperature needed to ignite the epidermis.

 

Some people blame reactive chemicals being produced, this too runs contrary to a scientific journal which involved an experiment with an enzyme that produces hydrogen peroxide. The enzyme was given a lot of the substrate it uses, and watched what happened. The enzyme rapidly produced hydrogen peroxide but then denatured when the concentration reached 2 or 3 percent.

 

So what's going on here?
