A retired jockey died when she fell onto an eco-friendly metal drinking straw that went through her eye and impaled her brain, an inquest heard today.
Elena Struthers-Gardner, 60, suffered horrific brain injuries after the freak accident at her home in Broadstone in Poole, Dorset on November 22.
She was carrying a mason jar glass with a screw-top lid when she collapsed, with the 10in stainless steel straw entering her left eye socket and piercing her brain.
Today a coroner said metal drinking straws should never be used with a lid that fixes them in place, and warned that 'great care should be taken' while using them.
They have increasingly replaced plastic straws after BBC's Blue Planet drew attention to ocean pollution, with the UK alone throwing away 8.5 billion every year.
