TY - JOUR PY - 2016// TI - "Spontaneous human combustion," homicide, suicide or household accident JO - Romanian journal of legal medicine A1 - Mekeres, Florica A1 - Buhas, Camelia Liana SP - 11 EP - 13 VL - 24 IS - 1 N2 - In an attempt to reach the most rational explanation possible, a complex analysis and evaluation of the pros and cons for spontaneous human combustion, murder, suicide and domestic accident is required for the death in atypical circumstances of an 80-year-old man from a rural area, who had burns on 90% of his body. The analysis of research data from the scene and from the autopsy led us to the most reasonable explanation, that of a domestic accident caused by the accidental ignition of nylon fabric used for clothing. Keywords: spontaneous human combustion, murder, suicide, domestic accidents.
