Can't access the article, but it definitely seems like he was trying to smuggle the heroin

BBM; I’m going to assume COD was probably a heroin OD just based off of that amount alone. I’d be surprised if it was something else. I’ve lost loved ones to single doses of the stuff. That’s A LOT of dope, I think it’s fair to assume he was smuggling it to sell. Was there any mention if any other balloons or pieces were found in other parts of his digestive tract? It’s possible he swallowed more than the 50 found in just his stomach. JMO, of course.
