After swallowing nearly 250 packets of cocaine, a Japanese man died on a plane.
Shortly after take-off in the early hours of Friday, the suspected drug mule entered cardiac arrest from the drug overdose.
On board passengers reported that the man was convulsing.
The Aeromexico flight, which took off from Mexico City in Mexico and headed to Narita, Japan, was forced to make an emergency stop in Hermosillo, some 2,000 kilometers north.
Authorities only identified the man as Udo' N'. They say he had traveled from Bogota, Colombia, to Mexico's capital. Mexican police found thousands of dollars worth of cocaine hidden inside over a dozen bread rolls during an airport drug raid in August last year.
