A woman is lucky to be alive after a bag containing 115 grams of ice burst inside her as she attempted to board a domestic flight to Western Australia. Police from the Middle Eastern Organised Crime Squad received a tip-off about an alleged drug smuggling operation and intercepted the 27-year-old woman as she tried to board a flight at Sydney Domestic Airport on Wednesday morning. She was taken to hospital just in case there were some issues. She was bound for the major gold mining town of Kalgoorlie and had allegedly secreted the package of methylamphetamine inside her. The drugs had an estimated street value of $46,000-$92,000. When she was arrested and the package was removed, officers discovered that it had partially ruptured. "The package was seized and was shown to have broken open, so she was taken to hospital just in case there were some issues - but she is fine," a police spokeswoman said. The woman was released from Prince of Wales Hospital on Wednesday afternoon and charged with supplying a prohibited drug greater than indictable quantity. She will appear in Kogarah Local Court next month. Around 50 milligrams of ice can be considered a lethal dose. Drug smugglers have died from having as little as one gram secreted inside them. An overdose causes a rapid onset of physiological deterioration that eventually leads to a heart attack or stroke.
