Definitely death by 5G. That, and the flat earth zone she rode through. Maybe she was murdered by some drugs in the mentioned “glue”.

“Cops suspect the young woman was likely smuggling the iPhones, the Mirror reported”

Strong police work. What was the alternative theory? She was really, really addicted to TikTok?

Good question.

If those iPhones were active — able to send and receive signals — she likely succumbed to effects of EMF. Even the signal from a single device can cause health problems, so two dozen — if active — could certainly be fatal.

Why would she risk her life like that? I remember the old days when smugglers would play it safe by swallowing 50 condoms filled with cocaine or heroin! Now it's dangerous phones glued to the body!!!

(with 26 iPhones glued to her skin)

I can’t imagine how anything
could go wrong with that

But then only Android phones
📱📱📱📱📱📱📱📱📱📱📱📱📱📱
should be used here in America

That way Google can track you
more efficiently.

The way my phones can unexpectedly heat up, she might have been toasted to death.

How was she going to get them off her body? My guess is a strong bath...

No way. Go stand next to a magnet and get back to us.

Could be either one or both.

RF from cell phones are microwave. Over exposure to that can cause damage to the body.

My wife has started using blue tooth ear buds to use her cell phone.

She has a stint and family history of heart trouble. She is wise.

Sounds like the lady made bad choices.

I saw “Midnight Express” in a theater when it came out.
The 2 scenes that have remained in my memory chips are...

The increasing loudness of the “bass thump/beating”
The girlfriend visiting him and pressing herself against the glass window

A cell phone has a 5 watt transmitter. When the phone is idle it sends a message that lasts for only a few microseconds every few seconds. That has no heating affect on nearby human tissue. When a cell phone is communicating it transmits a signal that lasts only a few microseconds every 20 milliseconds. That is still not enough energy to to affect tissue.

It is not likely that the woman suffered from the effects of radio emissions.

Magnets are not “microwave RF”

The higher you get in frequency the more potential for damage.

The 5G phones are dangerous. (yes, I own one)

Magnets attract steel but they do not warm human tissue.

The last thing you want to expose to microwave is your heart. I hate cell phones, for other reasons. But I no longer place a cell phone over my heart.

Nor does my wife.

Well, you can never have too many iPhones glued to your body.
