Dr. Reynolds' Report

The Legend:
Sometime previous to 1841, Dr. F. S. Reynolds examined the body of a 40-year-old woman that was found while still burning. She had apparently fallen near her hearth; the bones of her leg were carbonized, but the stockings were undamaged.

Initial Sources
According to Joyce Robins in The World's Greatest Mysteries, this case was initially reported by Dr. F. S. Reynolds in an 1841 issue of the British Medical Journal. Naturally, I will attempt to get a copy of this initial article... hopefully it will include a date for this event, something that Robins doesn't mention.
