A man who burned to death in his home died as a result of spontaneous combustion, an Irish coroner has ruled.

Michael Faherty, 76, died at his home in Galway on 22 December 2010.

Deaths attributed by some to “spontaneous combustion” occur when a living human body is burned without an apparent external source of ignition.

One thought on “‘First Irish case’ of death by spontaneous combustion

  1. This is so sad. However, I do find it extremely interesting. I can only imagine it would either take a lot of anger, or a lot of lonely sadness to create an energy within one’s own body to cause SHC. Thank you so much for posting this. It gives me something else to ponder! Light & Blessings.
