Dying in a “ball of fire” is a horrific way to go. But that, at least according to the coroner’s report, is just what happened to an unfortunate lady in Quebec. We’re not talking about some weird spontaneous combustion or some sort of dastardly criminals who set fire to people. Well, actually, there is a criminal of sorts involved. Liquid fabric softener! The lady in question was wearing a terry cloth bathrobe that ignited when a cigarette was dropped on it. The fire spread so quickly that she was unable to discard the garment and perished in what probably really did amount to a “ball of fire.” So what does the fabric softener have to do with it?
