Makes me think of <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;journals.sagepub.com&#x2F;doi&#x2F;10.1177&#x2F;0162243904270722" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;journals.sagepub.com&#x2F;doi&#x2F;10.1177&#x2F;0162243904270722</a> (paywalled), which was either a similar accident with a ballpoint pen instead of a straw, or a murder where the killer shot that pen with a crossbow.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amazon.com&#x2F;Transorbital-Intracranial-Penetrating-Injury-neurosurgical-ebook&#x2F;dp&#x2F;B00F5I5372" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amazon.com&#x2F;Transorbital-Intracranial-Penetrating...</a> (Also not available for free, AFAICT) discusses historical cases of this injury.<p>For example, the “look inside” pages discuss David vs Goliath and the death of Henry II of France as likely examples.
