German woman fights for life after 'spontaneously combusting' while sitting on a park bench
Daily Mail (U.K.) ^ | 11/4/2015 | Allan Hall

A woman is fighting for her life in a German hospital after appearing to spontaneously combust while sitting on a park bench.

Flames sprouted from her as a horrified passerby rushed to her and used his jacket to beat out the fire. But she was severely burned over most of her body.

The incident occurred in Flensburg, in the north of Germany, on Monday evening. The victim is in her 40's and comes from Mauritius.

After being rushed to the local hospital she was later flown by air ambulance to a specialist burns unit in Lubeck where she remains in a critical condition.

'The victim has lived in Flensburg for a long time and has family here,' said the local prosecutor Ulrike Stahlmann-Liebelt who is probing the bizarre blaze.

Eye witnesses told local media that the woman didn't make a sound as the flames engulfed her.

Wonder which she was?

Hindu 48.5%, Roman Catholic 26.3%, Muslim 17.3%,

Whichever, she certainly wasn’t German.

For prevention of spontaneous combustion:

Don't smoke if your vegan diet is mostly beans...or at least, take a handfuls of Beanos before lighting up.;-)

One: The woman is not German, she if from Mauritius

Two: One witness claimed to have seen two men fleeing the scene shortly before the incident.

Three: I am not buying that she just “burst into flames” on her own...

She’s not a “German woman”. She’s in immigrant.
