Chronicles of the unusual – The secret fire

Twice a year the french scientific police force must deal with a mystery cases of autocombustion. The victims are found in a natural posture without apparent attempts to escape. Of their body there remain nothing anymore separately the extremities (arms, legs, cranium) and white ashes. The necessary temperature to such a combustion is upper than a classical fire, however the close environment of the corpse is intact.
