Halakhah for Sanhedrin 103:22

מאן דיליף מעדת קרח מאי טעמא לא יליף מבני אהרן ההוא שריפה ממש הואי ונילף מינה

Now he [R. Eleazar] who infers it from the sons of Aaron, whence does he know [that their bodies were not burnt]? — Because it is written, And they died before the Lord,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Lev. X, 12. ');"><sup>17</sup></span>

Sefer HaChinukh

From the laws of the commandment is that which they, may their memory be blessed, said (Sanhedrin 52b) "The commandment of those that were burned is that they would submerge him in dung up to his knees, and they place a rough scarf within a soft one, and wrap [them] around his neck." And his two witnesses, "this one pulls toward himself, and that one pulls toward himself, until he opens his mouth." And they melt the tin or the lead or what is similar to it, "and [someone] throws it into his mouth, and it goes down and burns his intestines." And the rest of its details are in the seventh chapter of Sanhedrin.
