Answer 2

Not common.  No actually, not possible.  Without some sort of accellerant, the body will not combust.  Clothes may be combustible, and parts of the body may singe/melt.  However, the water content of the body is too high for it to spontaneously combust (i.e. reach an autoiginition temperature).

Answer 3

its never been proven to be a thing that could happen. you should never be worried that it could hapen to you. if your convinced that it happens(im not) wath the south park episode where the town starts spontaneously combusts.  that should answer whatever problum u have.

Answer 4

Umm, not common at all   given that there is no scientific proof for any case of so-called spontaneous human combustion. There have been "theories" actually BELIEFS how it could happen but all fail to provide any real experiments or tell-tale signs that would prove SHC. For now it belongs in the urban legend file along with alien abductions, The LOch Ness MOnster, and Bigfoot.

Answer 5

It's a myth, that is at least it hasn't actually been proven.
