A Tennessee woman was driving to her mother's house when she noticed something strange in a field off the road. First she thought it might be a neighbor's light, then maybe a log on fire.
It turned out to be a human body burning — and now authorities are treating the case as a homicide.
"It looked just like a log. Like a 4-foot log laying there. And I thought, huh, that's kind of strange," said Elizabeth Stuard, who made the discovery on Sunday.
The body was found in Adams, near the Kentucky line. It was taken to a medical examiner in Nashville for identification.
"It's certainly tragic," Ryan Martin, a spokesman for the Robertson County sheriff, told NBC affiliate WSMV.
Best quote from the vid at link, Reporterette: “Officials say the location is suspicious.”
Where would one find a random burning body and it not be suspicious?
Hmmm. shades of Ms. Chambers from Mississippi?
Well duh! What would normally be their first thought, that it was a family performing do it yourself cremation to save money? Spontaneous combustion?
Someone got lost on the way to this year’s Burning Man event?
It happens sometimes. People just explode. Natural causes.

LOL, those would certainly be my first two assumptions. Can you imagine what crematoriums cost these days.
By some definitions, a dwarf is under 4’11”.
So at 4’ tall, either a child or a dwarf is missing. Should make it easier to figure out who that is.
Burning seems to be popular with a certain subsection of the populace.
Sometimes country songs just write themselves.
Yup.
We know some folks who, when they do certain things, my wife will say “that is a country song just waiting to be sung.”
Sure, Spinal Tap lost one of their drummers to a case of spontaneous combustion.
An obvious suicide ....
...and a dwarf reference in post #10.
