For a good brief treatment of this subject, I suggest reading the pertinent chapter in Real Life X-Files by investigator Joe Nickell. He researched several noteworthy cases of supposed SHC and found logical alternative explanations using his detective skills and the help of professional fire investigators. Turns out there was no case that could not be explained by predictable interaction of flames, combustible materials and the human body. For me, it was a reassuring read!
