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?

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!!!

"HE HAS PHONES!!!!"

(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.

My friend died, he had an iPhone.

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...

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

Is there a huge black market for iphones in Brazil?

Were they turned on, or off?

If she was smuggling the phones, no way they’d be turned on and transmitting. If it - her health problem - was due to “the phones” it was most likely due NOT to the phones but to the glue uses to stick them to her body.

It is even possible that she had some major health issue having nothing to do with the phones.

I’m guessing the phones were shut down and inactive, and this was a reaction to absorbing chemicals in the glue.

Soo, are the places in Brazil where iPhones are illegal? If not, how/why was she “smuggling” them?

Here’s what the article left out .
“The woman said “hey Siri, play a factual and intellectually stimulating speech by Joe Biden. The phones then overheated as the CPUs had an impossible task.”

There is a big black market for iPhones and most electronics in Brazil due to their tariffs. There are plenty of articles on the internet of flight attendants and others who were arrested for smuggling.

Foz do Iguaçu is on the border of Brazil and touches Paraguay and Argentina. She was likely smuggling the phones. As for her death, body (likely) reacted adversely to the glue holding the phones to her body.

According to preliminary information, the woman, who was alone, was travelling from Foz do Iguaçu to São Paulo....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A few things to add to this... I’ve been to Foz do Iguaçu and the waterfalls just a few miles south of there are truly outstanding. One would wonder about ‘smuggling’ but Foz do Iguaçu is right next door (and across the Parana River near the Itaipu Dam) from Ciudad del Este in Paraguay. There essentially is no border check between the two countries. Ciudad del Este is a major hub in South America for smuggling consumer goods... it is located right where Brazil, Argentina and Brazil come together.

Apparently she was in Guarapuava, Brazil when she died. It’s about an 18 hour bus ride from Foz do Iguaçu to Sao Paulo and she would have been about 1/3 of the way along.
