A British woman died when she fell onto her reusable straw, a coroner said in an inquest this week that highlighted the possible dangers of metal straws, The New York Times reported.

Elena Struthers-Gardner, 60, who had a disability, was carrying a mason-jar style drinking glass with a screw-top in her home in Broadstone, England, in November 2018 when she collapsed.

The 10-inch stainless-steel straw penetrated her left eye and pierced her brain, according to the coroners report released on Monday, which called the death an accident.
