<strong>An elderly lady has choked to death while her granddaughter tried to teach her to suck eggs, it has emerged.</strong>

The tragedy happened when Beryl French, 92, got a hard-boiled egg stuck in the back of her throat.



Her granddaughter Lorraine Fisher, 34, of Halesworth, Suffolk had decided to take up the challenge of teaching her grandma to suck eggs.

Former librarian Beryl did not even get one egg down.

"It just goes to show you can't teach your grandmother to suck eggs after all," Ms Fisher lamented ahead of the funeral tomorrow.

"I wish I hadn't bothered now.

"Granny liked eggs usually, so we take some comfort that this is how she died."

An ambulance was scrambled as soon as Beryl collapsed, but it was too late to save her and she was declared dead at the scene.

"We would urge people not to try to teach their grandmothers to suck eggs," a hospital spokesman said.
