Chloe Hunt could have survived had the pens been removed sooner, a coroner says.
The death of a 21-year-old woman who swallowed four pens could have been avoided had they been removed earlier, a coroner said.
Dr Angela Tillett, chief medical officer at East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust, which runs the hospital, said: "Our deepest sympathies go out to Chloe’s family for their loss."When arriving at the accident and emergency department, Miss Hunt spoke to a doctor and outlined her background of complex trauma and how difficult it was for her to be in a hospital.
In the report, Ms Hayes said there had been no investigation of the underlying cause of this in a "young and otherwise physically healthy woman".
