Episode description

58-year-old Warren Meyer went for a walk in the bush at Dom Dom Saddle in the Yarra Ranges National Park on March 21, 2008. He was never seen again. We track the search for him, through evidence heard in the Coroners Court of Victoria. Spontaneous Human Combustion occurs when a living human body is burned without an apparent external source of ignition. Often the legs and feet are the only remains. We look at a number of cases of people bursting into flames, and examine what causes this bizarre phenomenon. We chat with Jaimie and Deb to find out about their fascinating new project, the Gympie Bone Museum.
