A new theory has emerged over why a dead woman was found with 26 iPhones glued to her body.

Brazilian investigators were stunned to find the dead woman, 20, with dozens of mobile phones stuck to her body. She died on July 29 after she became ill on a bus which stopped at a restaurant in the city of Guarupuava in the central region of Paraná.

She suffered a cardiac arrest before a resuscitation was attempted for 45 minutes. Following her death, investigators found packages stuck to her body, along with mobile phones and drinks that were hidden in her luggage. It comes after news a nursery teacher drowned her partner’s four-year-old daughter in sickening attack.

A new theory has now emerged suggesting the woman had been smuggling items before her death. Investigators said the items found on her body reinforced the hypothesis of illegal trafficking.

The woman’s body was sent to the Forensic Medical Institute with the seized items being taken to the headquarters of the federal police, which is now investigating the case. Reports following her death said the woman displayed symptoms that were consistent with a post-seizure and that she had suffered respiratory distress.

Her heart then stopped and she stopped breathing. Sniffer dogs found no drugs on her person and experts for the Civil Police were called to investigate. “The Paraná Civil Police are investigating the case and awaiting the conclusion of forensic reports to clarify the cause of death,” police said according to Brazilian news outlet Globo.

“According to preliminary information, the woman, who was alone, was traveling from Foz do Iguaçu to São Paulo. The 26 cell phones that were glued to her body were seized and sent to the Federal Revenue Service,” police said according to Brazilian news outlet Globo.”

The identity of the woman has not been released by authorities. An investigation remains ongoing.

It comes after Brazilian journalist Clara Nery suffered a shocking incident as she prepared to report live on camera. The TV correspondent for the Band network, Clara was mugged on a pavement in Botafogo, in southern Rio de Janeiro.

In the shocking clip, Clara could be seen typing intently on her phone in the run up to the live broadcast, as a man on a motorbike appears in the background and slowly closes in on the reporter. While driving past Clara, the assailant could be seen reaching out and swiping the journalist’s phone from her hand.

The footage then showed Clara screaming in shock and swearing before she lunged to get her phone. She later said: “I had my back turned when this man rode by on a motorcycle on the sidewalk and tried to take my phone. In the video, you can see the moment he puts his hand on my phone and takes it from me.

“Luckily, and despite his lack of skill, I managed to retrieve the phone. But we already have the security camera footage, the camera that managed to focus on his face.”
