| [Straits Times] A SUSPECTED Iranian drug trafficker died after the rupture in his stomach of some of the 137 methamphetamine capsules he had swallowed, Malaysian police said on Friday. The 52-year-old traveller was taken to a public hospital after appearing ill at the country's low cost budget air terminal late on Thursday, local police chief Abdul Razak Abdul Majid told AFP. Surgeons discovered the drugs during an operation, he said. 'The Iranian was in critical condition following the surgery and died on Friday, with initial reports indicating that some of the pills burst, which is what is believed to have made him sick and killed him,' Mr Abdul Razak said. 'We will know more after the autopsy, but the surgeons removed 137 compressed slabs in the form of capsules, weighing 765 grams in total, from his stomach,' he added. He said police were still investigating where the Iranian had flown in from, and trying to determine his identity through the Iranian embassy. |
