A mother died after she tripped and fell on wine bottles she was carrying, which broke under her neck.
UK woman Susan Woods, 45, had been out with friends and family for the evening and had bought some drinks on the way home.
She was carrying them while her husband
went to get money from an ATM last August.
During the walk home, she fell heavily on to the bottles which smashed, coroner officer James Martindal said.
Paramedics performed CPR before she was taken to hospital where she died.
