A 96-year-old Bucks woman died in a care home after choking on a Brussels sprout.
Sheila Colls, who was originally from Slough but lived in Swarthmore Care Home in Gerrards Cross, passed away on January 31, an inquest at Beaconsfield Coroners Court heard.
The court heard how Ms Colls, a retired secretary, was in bed when she was served her lunch in her room at the care home at around 12.40pm.
Four minutes later, staff noticed that she was ringing her bell, and rushed to help her when they saw she was choking.
