Makes me think of https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/0162243904270722 (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.

https://www.amazon.com/Transorbital-Intracranial-Penetrating... (Also not available for free, AFAICT) discusses historical cases of this injury.

For example, the “look inside” pages discuss David vs Goliath and the death of Henry II of France as likely examples.
