Police are investigating the death of a 20-year-old Brazilian woman who died on a bus with 26 iPhones glued to her skin.
The woman, who has not been publicly identified, died of cardiac arrest on July 29, according to multiple outlets, including the Daily Mail.
Cops suspect the young woman was likely smuggling the phones, the Mirror reported.
Passengers on the bus told police the woman, who was traveling solo, had become ill during the trip from Foz do Iguaçu to São Paulo, according to the reports.
She complained she was having trouble breathing.
People said she collapsed and died when the bus stopped in the city of Guarupuava, located in the central region of Paraná.
Emergency responders tried to revive the woman for 45 minutes, and later said she suffered a seizure.
She was pronounced dead at the scene, according to reports.
While being treated, medics uncovered several packages glued to her body.
The packages turned out to be 26 iPhones, according to the Daily Mail. Police also found several bottles of booze in her luggage, the outlet reported.
The Paraná Civil Police is waiting on the forensic report before revealing what caused the breathing difficulties and the cardiac arrest.
The cell phones are now in the possession of Brazil’s Federal Revenue Service.
