My best friend passed away two years ago this past April. Her husband told me that she had burns over 90% of her body, no one knows how it happened. They were planning to go to an event her family was having that day, when he went in her room, (he was an OTR truck driver and they slept in separate rooms when he was home), to see if she was up, he found her on her bed, burned from head to toe, still alive. The only burns spots in the room were where she walked across the carpet, where she touched the basin of her bathroom sink, and where her zippo landed on the floor beside her bed. She had routines and one of them was always applying baby oil after her shower. There is evidence that she went to her sink, then got into her shower to put out the fire, then made it to her bed. The medical report says that she died from inhaling fire into her lungs which was why she didn't make any noise. The only conclusion I can come to, sanely, is that she lit a cigarette too soon after applying the oil and it caught her hands on fire, then spread. Her death has been under investigation for two years and they are no closer to a determination than they were the day it happened. There are family members that believe her husband had something to do with it, but she was still alive when he called 911 and his mother. She was still alive when they all got to his home. If he wanted her dead, he would not have left her alive to talk to police or, possibly, recover. I have a suspicion that her drug addicted daughter, (who had left the house sometime in the morning with her creep boyfriend, who stole her dad's wallet), may have been involved but I hate to think that way.

Has anyone ever heard of anything like this? I do not believe in spontaneous combustion. I have been told baby oil is highly flammable. I wish they would just come to a conclusion and ease her family's minds.

I loved her, she was the sister of my heart. I miss her every day
