Man dies after swallowing 250 packets of cocaine on flight

A Japanese man died on a flight leaving Mexico after ingesting nearly 250 packets of cocaine, officials said. Prosecutors said the man, identified as Udo “N”, had come to Mexico City from Bogota, Colombia.

The report says that fellow passengers reported having seen him convulsing in the early hours of Friday as the jetliner headed for Narita, a city on the outskirts of Tokyo. He had ingested 246 packets of cocaine and suffered an overdose, leading to a cardiac arrest shortly after takeoff, experts later discovered.
