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 iPhones, 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.
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.

LOL!
My only thought on this story - Goldfinger! Between the transdermal suffusion of some component of the adhesive and the occlusion of the surface of the skin, Chuck Darwin strikes again!
If the phones were active, it was probably the heat. It is Brazil, after all. Covering that much skin area with a heat source can’t be healthy.
They had an amber alert for her, and they all rang at once....
Brokeback Mountain - the prequel
was she hot
The scene I remember is the coat hanger peg through the back of the warden’s head.
That I can watch.
She probably died when all the phones went off at the same time because of a severe weather alert, causing her to go into cardiac arrest.
Oh Lord almighty, may He have mercy on her soul.
What a tragic loss, way to go. And so young, too.
70 posts and no one has asked if she was vaxxed? We’re slipping gang.
I had a forty year career in telecommunications. Starting in the USAF, I worked around a Lenkurt 45BX3 microwave radio system and the waveguides were notorious for the microwave radiation spilled all over. It was 1950's state of the art.
When I got out of the USAF, I was shocked to see that same sort of gear being used by ITT, SPRINT and MCI in our terminals.
I'll never forget that when I visited the MCI Chicago Terminal, the actual microwave radio, waveguide and antenna was on the floor shooting out of the window, with technician's desks in a half circle around it. Would you care to guess the magnitudes of power it took for point-to-point transmissions over miles across the country compared to the infinitesimally small signal from a local cell signal and cellphone?
And at 72 years, I haven't had any sign of a tumor even though I had a tobacco habit for about 15 years to boot.
Only Fans???
Perhaps she did it with them all set to vibrate so she could have a very special experience when someone called.
The cringey homo scene?
