Since the body is 70% water, and water is composed of hydrogen and oxygen (two highly flammable elements when separated)could SHC be caused by a chemical breakdown of the body's water, instead of the theory that the water is simply burned off. I wonder if this process could be triggered by an electrical current flowing through the body? I already read the similar questions and answers on your site, and it did not answer quite what I was asking. Thank you, D Miller
