Sorry, yes, terrible resource.

I could be wrong about the depth to which her burns penetrated, I can't find where I initially read that.

I offer instead a lesser argument: it is not absurd that a burn penetrate deep enough to affect bone, especially at the pelvis where bone is close to the surface.

I will not link photos, they are indeed horrifying and if you go look for them they are more persuasive than anything I can say

Bone-affecting burns are 4th degree or higher. It's almost absurd to imagine that a cup of coffee below boiling could do that even where skin layers (and fat layers, which absorb a lot of heat) are thin.
