Spontaneous human combustion (SHC) is a scientifically unsubstantiated hypothesis that suggests the burning of a person's body without an external source of ignition. Although there is much speculation and controversy over SHC, it is not a proven natural occurrence.
Linda Purl who played Charlene Matlock on the Matlock TV show was in every episode of the first season except episode #14, The Rat Pack. Her former husband from a very short marriage, Desi Arnaz Jr. was guest-starring on that episode.
Matlock is a renowned, folksy, popular yet cantankerous defense attorney, (based on attorney Big Ben Baker, from Young Harris, Georgia,). He has also solved and subsequently won at trial almost every case he has taken, especially murder cases where everyone else was sure his client was guilty.
