Smoking woman strips naked at airport

A woman removed all her clothes in a concourse at Denver International Airport and was taken to a hospital for evaluation, AP quoted authorities as saying.

Airport spokeswoman Jenny Schiavone said the woman undressed near a boarding gate on Tuesday morning.

Schiavone said KMGH-TV the woman had been smoking in a non-smoking area and someone told she couldn't smoke there. She put out her cigarette and then undressed.

Police spokesman Sonny Jackson said there was no evident connection between the smoking incident and her undressing. Jackson says she apparently suffered some sort of breakdown.

Police said she wasn't arrested. Her name hasn't been released.
