Why dead woman had 26 iPhones glued to her body theory emerges
Investigators have shared a new theory about why a young woman who sadly died was found to have 26 iPhones stuck to her body after resuscitation attempts. A new theory over why a dead woman was found with 26 iPhones glued to her body has emerged. Brazilian investigators were stunned to find the dead woman, 20, with dozens of mobile phones stuck to her body, reports the Mirror. 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. 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.' Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Guarapuava: Young woman with 26 iPhones glued to her body dies in bizarre circumstances
Police are investigating the bizarre death of a young woman who died with 26 iPhones glued to her body. The 20-year-old from Brazil was a passenger on a bus travelling from Foz do Iguaçu to São Paulo on July 29 when she fell ill. Emergency services were called around 10.30pm when the bus stopped at a restaurant in Guarapuava in southern Brazil, when the woman complained of breathing difficulties. Despite the efforts of paramedics with the Mobile Emergency Care Service, her breathing worsened soon after and she had a seizure in the restaurant. After about 45 minutes of trying to revive her, the woman was declared dead. While they were trying to treat the woman, who was travelling alone, the paramedics noted several packages attached to her body, according to local media outlet Gazeta do Parana . Police later confirmed they were packages containing 26 iPhones that had been glued directly to her skin. It is believed that the woman may have been attempting to smuggle the items to avoid paying the high taxes that electronic goods attract when bringing them across the border into Brazil. Her luggage was found to contain several bottles of alcohol. A search with sniffer dogs did not uncover any illicit drugs. The phones and the alcohol have been seized. The woman's body has been sent to the Forensic Medical Institute to investigate the cause of death. 'The Paraná Civil Police are investigating the case and awaiting the conclusion of forensic reports to clarify the cause of death,' police said. Police are also investigating the origin of the iPhones. The woman's identity has not been revealed.

Which cosmetic surgery led to influencer Natália Cavanellas' sudden death at 40? Here's what we know so far
Natália Cavanellas, a well-known Brazilian influencer and entrepreneur, died on Monday, 7 July, after undergoing elective cosmetic surgery in São Paulo. She was 40 years old. Known for her empowering presence online, Natália was not only a mother and wife but also the leader of a business community of over 800 women. Who was the influencer Natália Cavanellas? With over 100,000 followers on her personal Instagram and nearly 30,000 more on her business account, Natália used her platform to champion networking, leadership, and strategic business positioning for women. Her sudden passing has left both the influencer community and her loved ones in mourning. Cosmetic surgery turns fatal According to CNN Brasil, Natália went into cardiorespiratory arrest during the surgical procedure. The São Paulo Public Security Secretariat has categorised the incident as a case of "sudden death." An investigation into the exact cause is still being conducted by the Forensic Medical Institute. The cosmetic procedure, though not explicitly named in public records, was elective and reportedly conducted in a fully equipped hospital with all necessary safety measures in place. Suspected pulmonary embolism may be cause A statement issued by the medical team defending Dr Edgar Lopez, the surgeon who operated on Natália, stated that she developed a severe complication believed to be a pulmonary embolism. Despite all preventative protocols being followed, the complication was described as a rare but medically recognised risk during such surgeries. Dr Lopez's legal team also highlighted that he has over two decades of experience and consistently practices medicine with responsibility and ethical standards. Natália leaves behind her husband, Rafael Thomazella, and their young daughter, Manoella. Rafael shared the tragic news via Instagram, expressing the family's unbearable grief. He described Natália as a brilliant, independent, and deeply loved woman whose memory will forever live on in the hearts of those she touched. He said he would always make sure their daughter knew just how exceptional her mother was, warm, admired, and unforgettable.
