A shocking video of a man lying calmly on the ground while on fire could be a rare case of spontaneous combustion caught on camera.
The man was pictured lying ‘peacefully’ in the doorway of a building with a bicycle parked nearby – and with flames emerging from his stomach and chest.
The bizarre incident occurred on the streets of Serbia’s second largest city Novi Sad.
A man can be heard approaching the unfortunate burning man saying: “Hello, hello, what’s happening?”
But the burning man waves him away as if lying covered in flames is the most natural thing in the world.
The video emerged at the end of November last year, with one man saying the man is well known in Novi Sad for problematic behavior.
They claimed the human barbecue incident without the unfortunate fellow suffering serious injuries.
It is unkown whether the man had fallen victim to the bizarre phenomenon known as spontaneous human combustion.
It is the term used when a human body goes up in flames without an apparent external source of ignition.
Spontaneous human combustion has been implied as a cause of death in a number of documented cases where police have found burned corpses but without an apparent external source of ignition.
An estimated 200 cases have been found throughout history and victims are often elderly, sick, or under the influence of alcohol, which could explain why they have not been able to escape the flames.
Puzzled scientists have come up with the ‘wick theory’ to explain such events, according which the human body can become an ‘inside out’ candle.
The person’s clothes are the wick, while their body fat is the wax or flammable substance, which keeps the blaze going.
Limbs may be left intact because of the temperature gradient, with the bottom half of the body being cooler than the top.
