...if they cremate him...

Saw a thing on spontaneous human combustion.

They immersed a pig/part of in ethyl alcohol for a very long time. Tried to ignite the part on the show.

Didn't burn very well. Probably better than that crematorium in Georgia, though. (case was in the news - change of venue.)

The alcohol fumes are what burn.

But to make the pig burn they needed a wick and a heat retardant cover to hold the heat in.
