    This is very whelming news. Not underwhelming or overwhelming, just.... nicely whelming.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    What a fool. I did not think that there were people that still tried to smuggle using this method. I wonder how crazy he got before the overdose kicked in.

    Heard this on the news today,It's hard not to feel a bit of sympathy for him. He was stupid but he is not the first nor will he be the last to do it. RIP.

    You would think in this day and age the drug dealers would have the technique perfected in this day and age.

    Although being a gringo they probably didn't give a fcuk for his well being once they got his money.

    You play with fire, you get burnt.

    RIP

    Surely it would be safer to put the coke into the condoms and just hide them in your suitcase. They'd never think of looking there. And if they burst you wouldn't die.

    For his stupidity - the only thing he's now expecting, is to be put in a grave, having upset his family!

    He tried to make some quick cash. Tough one. Shouldn't be working for drug cartels, nasty business.
    At the same time I imagine that it wasn't the worst way to go. Co-Co-Co-Co-Co-Co-caine.

    We could all do with some quick cash, its inexcusable.

    I feel sorry for his family though.

    Looks like my religion teacher was right- condoms aren't guaranteed protection. He should have stayed at home and said his prayers...

    They do have it perfected - get some other mug to carry the drugs.

    Nah - you just need to pay off the right people. Either get it classified as 'safe for consumption' like caffeine (of which, most of the country is physically addicted to) or 'medical in nature' like any of the countless mood-altering drugs you can get for being 'sad' or 'tired' from your doctor.

    no doubt through greed,he knowingly gambled with his own life and lost, the only thing have got pity for is how he went; it wont have been an easy way out at all; people think because its cocaine he will have got some experience off it-unfortunately not; for him,not nice at all from what have seen of those drugs smuggling programmes.
    its all rather different to the drugs mules from third world countries who commonly do so through sheer desperation.

    True, but if it puts others off, he won't have died in vain ;)

    Well he will, but still!
