HORRIBLE AND MELANCHOLY DEATH NEAR FORRES [ABBREVIATED][01]
On the afternoon of Saturday last, John Anderson, carrier, Whitemyre, was discovered lying in a field by the side of the road leading up from the turnpike a few hundred yards east of the Harmuir toll. On examination it appeared that the wretched man had been burned to death...turning up the cross-road, he was observed to jump off the cart, and shortly after was found with every particle of clothing burned off his body, except a small bit of his stockings and the back of his coat and trousers. What adds to the horror of the case, his eyes were literally burned out, and his nose and ears burned off. It is conjectured that a spark from his pipe had ignited the fumes of alcohol, and that spontaneous combustion immediately ensued – the subtle gas issuing from every orifice in the body, and even through the pores of the skin, being kindled on coming into contact with the air. – Forres Gazette.
