The woman was immediately taken into custody and kept under guard at the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) where she has been passing the cocaine pellets ever since.
Yesterday the Guyana Chronicle was told that time was running out for the woman who still has more cocaine pellets inside her and these could burst and cause her death.
The woman so far was able to excrete 392 grams of cocaine contained in several pellets. The woman remains under guard at the Georgetown Public Hospital even as doctors are continuing to monitor her condition.
When the woman was arrested at the airport she was seen to be sweating profusely, attracting the suspicion of the anti-narcotics ranks.
