Is it true your soul can suddenly implode and incinerate your body?

My friend said it can and when it does it leaves behind a shrunken skull because of the pressure of it imploding in on itself (which is super weird since if you’re in a fire your skull expands because of the heat..). Sounds too strange to be true but I'm wondering if that can happen. He said there was a case where the day before it happened to him this guy wished something weird would happen to him. Then in the morning his son found him incinerated in bed and his skull was shrunken to the size of an orange.

There's a big clue.

There have been reports of spontaneous human combustion, however none have been witnessed.

As to the cause being ones 'soul' imploding or exploding, that presumes the existence of a material and so detectable soul so is invalid.

Shrunken heads are something entirely unrelated to spontaneous combustion. I'd take what your friend says with a very generous pinch of salt.

i've read about "spontaneous combustion", many years ago. the account that
made the most sense had nothing mystical about it. apparently, all such cases
were of people living alone, and (maybe) all were smokers... what would happen
is that they'd have a heart attack [that's a guess], and their lit match, or
cigarette would begin a slow burn of their clothes or chair or bed...
then, something called "candle-wicking" would take place; wherein the fat
of a body (sorry if it seems gruesome here) would be released, and cause
the flame to be "localized", and not spread out. the heat could reach extremes
that would completely incinerate a body (except for extremities!) and this
heat was greater than in typical cremation processes [where the bones are
actually ground down separately afterwards]. this theorizing was tested with
hog corpses, successfully. evidence of extreme heat was present at sites
investigated (scorching at ceiling levels).
i don't recall anything about "shrunken heads" in the stories i'd read... i believe
that those were typically incinerated along with the torso (though often NOT limbs).
it IS a strange phenomena, and i suspect that most such circumstances
might result in a full fledged housefire.

I recall stories of spontaneous combustion pictured on the front page of The National Enquirer in the 1960s ...

Soul implosion? Sounds like a type of comic book superpowers. Would be cool to have the actual ability to implode someone's soul.

The ones that got me were those where they were charred beyond recognition besides a limb or two, yet the sheets and the bed they were laying on were not burnt at all - or the couch they were sitting on wasn't even scorched..

...besides that, if one was on fire, they wouldn't sit on a couch or laying in bed going "oh look at that would you? I seem to be on fire here" It must happen totally within 5 seconds.

Intriguing.

This is a good point, ObServant!
