An Irishman has been arrested in Brazil with nearly two pounds of cocaine in his stomach.
The 20-year-old suspect was stopped as he tried to board a flight in Sao Paulo, headed to Brussels.
Officers became suspicious because the man appeared nervous, Brazilian police said.
When questioned, he admitted he'd swallowed capsules of cocaine.
He was taken to a hospital, where he expelled 72 capsules containing 1.8 pounds (830 grams) of the drug.
The hospital released a CT scan showing the man filled with oval-shaped capsules.
He was arrested on suspicion of international drug trafficking. If found guilty, he would face five to 15 years in prison.
