Priest victim

Priests and clergyman may be particularly vulnerable to spontaneous human combustion

This clergyman apparently became a victim of human spontaneous combustion during a visit from his native England to New York City during the Victorian age.
While away from his parish in Stock-cross, Newbury, England, the Reverend Mr Adams burned to death in a hotel room in New York City in 1876, apparently as a result of spontaneous combustion because there were no other traces of a fire in his room.
In a study of human spontaneous combustion entitled ‘Fire from heaven’, the author Michael Harrison remarks that ‘ecclesiastics (priests and clergymen), as a class’ seem strangely vulnerable to SHC (spontaneous human combustion) and other paranormal heat phenomena.
