Authorities investigating the death of a 65-year-old man in Muldrow, Okla., haven't thrown water on a bizarre theory for the tragedy: Spontaneous human combustion (SHC).

On Monday, members of Danny Vanzandt's family found his dead body inside his home burned and incinerated in such a manner that suggests he may have spontaneously combusted, according to Sequoyah County Sheriff Ron Lockhart.

"I think there's only about 200 cases worldwide and I'm not saying that this has happened. I'm just saying that we haven't ruled it out," Lockhart told KSDK-TV, emphasizing there was no damage to the house and no signs of struggle.

"There was no damage to the furniture or anything around the fire, so it was a low heat fire," he told the station.

Lockhart said the victim was an alcoholic and an avid smoker, factors that may have contributed to the body blaze.

1. Individuals have, in the past, combusted spontaneously and survived.

Almost always, they were drunk and passed out or asleep at the time.

Most odd.

2. Really scary stuff. I wonder if Boner will do this? LOL

3. He probably didn't hold his farts in long enough!

4. In the dorm we had a kid that was always lighting his farts, especially after drinking. Damn big

flames shot out!

5. I suspect the sheriff of foul play: why else would he spread such a bizarre story?
