11-month-old Peter Seaton dies of Spontaneous Human Combustion in London, Greater London, United Kingdom.


Seaton was found in his cot in an inferno of blazing flames strong enough to push back a rescuer who had heard him screaming. After the firemen had put the flames out investigators revealed that nothing was found that could have caused the fire. What was especially remarkable was that the surrounding furniture was hardly damaged.
