Brazil catches Irish man with gut full of cocaine
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-14956801

An Irish man has been arrested in Brazil with almost a kilo of cocaine hidden in his gut, police there say.

The 20-year-old suspect was detained as he tried to board a flight from Sao Paulo to Brussels.

Officers said they became suspicious because he looked nervous. When questioned, he admitted having swallowed sealed capsules of cocaine.

He was rushed to hospital, where he expelled 72 capsules containing 830g (1.8lb) of the drug.
