She is said to have stumbled as she got out of bed and crushed her partner who had been lying on the floor.
Neighbours were alerted to the tragic situation by the woman's screams after she became trapped between the bed and the wall.
They are said to have rushed to their help in the early hours of Monday morning.
The neighbours managed to lift her off him, but he was already unconscious by the time firefighters and paramedics got there.
Efforts of medical responders to revive him after he went into cardiac arrest were unsuccessful.
The woman's weight is believed to be a key factor in why she was unable to get up after getting trapped.
It took five men to lift her off her partner, Portuguese daily Correio da Manha has reported.
The tragic events unfolded in Campanha on the outskirts of Porto.
Portuguese cops have investigated, but determined it was a freak accident and ruled out foul play.
One source close to the investigation said: "It's been categorised as an accidental asphyxia.

'It's obviously a very unusual death but there was no criminal intent.
"It was a stumble by the woman as she got out of bed and tried to move closer to her husband who was lying on the floor that led to what happened."
The dead man's partner is understood to have been offered grief counselling.
They had lived together as husband and wife for several years, according to local media reports.
However, they had not been formally married.
It comes after more than a dozen people have been hospitalised after eating the poisoned sandwiches from a food truck in Italy.
Two people have sadly died after biting into the food near the town of Diamante in Calabria.
Nine people are being investigated in relation to this, it is understood.
The food truck where the sandwiches were sold has now been seized.

Bank-emptying Gmail and Outlook attachments overtaken by even WORSE costly email con that's much harder for you to spot
Over 3 billion attacks have been sent out so far CASH KILLER Bank-emptying Gmail and Outlook attachments overtaken by even WORSE costly email con that's much harder for you to spot BRITS are being warned to watch out – because the dodgy email attachments that used to drain your bank account have just been outdone by an even sneakier scam that's much harder to catch. Cyber experts have revealed that online crooks now prefer planting malicious links over using infected attachments - and the results are far worse. 2 The tools are so easy that even low-level scammers are jumping on the trend Credit: Alamy According to a new bombshell report by Proofpoint, the hidden traps are tucked inside emails, buttons, and even PDFs or Word docs, and one wrong click could see your logins stolen or malware silently installed. Advertisement Over 3 billion attacks with dodgy URLs have been sent out and the main goal is to steal passwords. This hacking scheme isn't just being used by criminal masterminds either. The tool are so easy to get hold of that even low-level scammers can launch convincing fakes that bypass security checks like multi-factor authentication and take full control of your account. Proofpoint also uncovered a jaw-dropping 400 percent spike in a sneaky scam called 'ClickFix' – where users are tricked into clicking fake error messages or CAPTCHA boxes. Advertisement These convincing cons trick you into running harmful code, opening the door to remote access trojans, info-stealers, and more. Meanwhile, QR code phishing attacks are exploding, with over 4.2 million attempts spotted in just the first half of 2025. These nasty little codes target your personal mobile – dodging work defences completely. And let's not forget smishing – dodgy texts that try to fool you. Advertisement 2 MM1WHE Internet fraud concept with faceless hooded male person using tablet computer, low key red and blue lit image and digital glitch effect Credit: Alamy More than half of all SMS phishing attempts now come packed with malicious URLs, making it harder than ever to stay safe. Selena Larson, top threat analyst at Proofpoint, gave a stark warning: 'The most damaging cyber threats today don't target machines or systems. They target people.' She added that these new-style scams are designed to exploit human psychology, using trusted brands and familiar tech to lure you in – whether it's a dodgy CAPTCHA, a QR code, or a believable text message. This comes after a devastating con carried out by Chinese organised crime groups was exposed. Advertisement So-called 'pig butchering' is where scammers established fake romantic and trusting relationships with victims before luring them into fraudulent investments or other financial traps. In 2023, Shan Hanes, a banker from Kansas, US, embezzled £34.6million from his bank to cover his losses, having fallen victim to a pig butchering scam. Hanes was later sentenced to more than 24 years behind bars. Usually, a pig butchering scam works in three stages – hunting, raising and killing. This involves a scammer finding a victim online, chatting to them in order to build up trust and then getting them to invest large amounts of money into fraudulent schemes. Advertisement The scam works in a similar way to a traditional romance scam, where scammers approach their victims by posing as a possible romantic partner on a dating app, or as a friend via social media. The big difference though is how the scam is executed. With a romance scam, trust is based on the victim's urge to maintain a romantic relationship with the scammer. In this scenario, the scam can often last for years. Pig butchering scams though, in comparison, generally take place over a much shorter time period. Advertisement The scammer, rather than focusing on trying to extract money through emotional manipulation, leans more on the victim's desire to make money together with the scammer. This can involve just a few months rather than years to take advantage of the victim. Usually, the scammer will present themselves as being financially successful and confident with a broad network and have appealing investment opportunities. Once the victim has made an initial small investment, the scammer will then try to escalate the process and push them into making a much larger financial commitment, reports.

The shooter's ex-wife is in critical condition MURDER-SUICIDE SHOCK Horror as scorned man kills former wife's partner & mum outside hotel before shooting ex and turning gun on himself A GUNMAN killed his former wife's new partner and her mum outside a hotel before turning the gun on himself in a horrifying shooting. The shooter also left his ex-wife seriously injured in the terrifying attack in Naples, Italy. 2 The shooting unfolded on Ischia island, in Naples, Italy (stock) Credit: Alamy 2 The shooter killed his ex-wife's mum and partner in Naples, Italy (stock) Credit: Splash Two victims were found on the road outside a hotel, while the third victim died from their injuries in hospital. The 69-year-old gunman reportedly shot and killed his ex-wife's partner, 48, and her 63-year-old mum, who was a Ukrainian national. He then reportedly chased and shot his ex-wife, 42, who was also of Ukrainian origin. She is currently at the Rizzolo hospital in Lacco Ameno. The attacker was also rushed to hospital after he turned the gun on himself, and died later. The shocking attack took place on Saturday at around 6:30pm on the island of Ischia in the Cuotto area in Forio. Local cops said the area is still cordoned off while they continue to investigate the circumstances of the attack. State police and volunteers are helping with the investigation. The shocking attack comes after a shooting left a mobster's niece dead in a nightclub as part of a suspected mafia war last year. Antonia Lopez, 19, was reportedly killed as scores were being settled between gangs involved in drug trafficking and extortion. Man, 50, killed in drive-by shooting outside petrol station as cops release CCTV in hunt for car 'with false plates' The young woman was gunned down at Bahia nightclub in Puglia, Italy, as Michele Lavopa, 21, allegedly sought to kill a different man - Eugenio Palermiti, 21. Lavopa handed himself into police after his mother convinced him to and confessed, La Gazzetta del Mezzogiorno reported. He has now been charged with voluntary homicide, quadruple attempted homicide, and possession and carrying of a firearm. The three involved were all scions of different criminal gangs, with Lopez pals with target Palermiti. And in 2021, two young brothers were killed by a crazed shooter, with the boys holding their father's hand as they died. David and Daniel Fusinato, aged five and 10, were shot while playing in the street in the Italian town Ardea, near Rome. Their grandmother, Sonia di Gennaro, said the boys' dad - Domenico - was with them until the very end. She told Italian newspaper La Stampa: "They died holding their father's hand. "The ambulance arrived too late, it took half an hour."

Man arrested after Bournemouth's Semenyo reports racist abuse in Liverpool match
The 42 A MAN HAS been arrested following reports that a Bournemouth football player was racially abused during the first Premier League game of the season. Bournemouth's Antoine Semenyo reported being racially abused by a spectator during the opening match against Liverpool. Match referee Anthony Taylor stopped play in the 29th minute on Friday and a man, 47, was ejected from Anfield stadium. A 47-year-old man from Liverpool was arrested on Saturday on suspicion of a racially aggravated public order offence and has been taken into custody to be interviewed, Merseyside Police said. Semenyo scored twice in the second half to help bring Bournemouth back from two goals down at Anfield before Liverpool went on to eventually win the contest 4-2. The following day, the 25-year-old forward said on social media: 'Last night at Anfield will stay with me forever – not because of one person's words, but because of how the entire football family stood together.' He thanked his teammates, Liverpool players and fans 'who showed their true character', and the Premier League officials 'who handled it professionally'. Semenyo continued: 'Scoring those two goals felt like speaking the only language that truly matters on the pitch. This is why I play – for moments like these, for my teammates, for everyone who believes in what this beautiful game can be. 'The overwhelming messages of support from across the football world remind me why I love this sport. We keep moving forward, together.' During the match, Semenyo spoke to managers Arne Slot and Andoni Iraola before the two captains Virgil van Dijk and Adam Smith were called over to the dug-outs.

The incident came two days after Tottenham Hotspur player Mathys Tel received racist abuse online after missing a penalty in his side's Uefa Super Cup win against Paris Saint-Germain. Advertisement Liverpool captain van Dijk labelled the reported abuse aimed at Semenyo as a 'disgrace'. He agreed it was symptomatic of a wider problem not restricted to football, but said greater attempts had to be made to change the mindset. Campaigns such as taking the knee and Kick It Out have not been able to eradicate the issue, he added. Van Dijk said: 'What else can we do? Because this is the very odd one (case) that has managed to say something that is obviously a disgrace. 'The only thing we can do is deal with it by dealing with him personally and try to educate the next generation. That is the only way to try and kick it out, in my opinion. 'I can't believe it. These things shouldn't happen but unfortunately it does and it is an absolute disgrace in my eyes. 'First and foremost these things should never happen in the world, not only football. I am happy to say I don't see it happening up until today actually. 'But in general racism is not of this world in my opinion, but if we are to be realistic, unfortunately, it still exists and that is the painful side of it. 'We have to deal with it in the here and now.' Chief Inspector Kev Chatterton, match commander for the Liverpool versus Bournemouth game, said on Friday: 'Merseyside Police will not tolerate hate crime of any form.' 'We take incidents like this very seriously, and in cases like this we will be proactively seeking football banning orders, with the club, against those responsible.' He added: 'There is no place for racism and it is vital that anyone who witnesses such an offence reports it to stewards, or the police, immediately so we can take the necessary action like we did this evening. 'As with all matches, we work very closely with both Liverpool and Everton FC to ensure the safety of the public and the players.' A spokesperson for Liverpool Football Club said it is aware of the allegation of racist abuse and that 'we condemn racism and discrimination in all forms, it has no place in society, or football'. The Football Association said it was 'concerned' about the allegation of racism towards Semenyo and that it would ensure 'appropriate action' would be taken.
