Ricarte even sent a picture of the hotel's business card to her friend so she could raise the alarm. 

 

She flew from Belo Horizonte, south east Brazil on July 8 and was found dead at dawn the following day in the Sao Pedro Hotel. 

 

Police believe she agreed to smuggle the drugs in return for £2,350. 

Ricarte also spoke to her boyfriend in Brazil who lived with her.

 

The family friend, who declined to identify herself, told reporters the boyfriend 'talked to Deyse for about two hours until she gave her last breath and fell back.'

 

According to her family, 'Deyse suffered a sudden death'. 

 

The autopsy report issued by Portuguese authorities indicated 'drugs without authorisation were detected' in her stomach.

 

Staff at the Lisbon hotel told Record TV that a man came to reception looking for the young woman, when she didn't answer the phone, hotel security entered the room and found her dead.

 

A distraught aunt of the deceased woman, Lilian Souza, said: 'We believe someone made a proposal to her and she might have swallowed some drugs.'

 

A cousin, João Vitor, said the family hadn't known about the trip.

'Deyse was always travelling, and we only found out about the video when it was sent to my aunt,' he said.

 

'It was through this that we began to investigate to see if the information was true.'
