Friends were unable to save the 30-year-old, who warned that 'accidents do happen' in her final written Facebook post
A BRAZILIAN football fan has died after slicing open her THROAT when she fell on her wine glass while celebrating her team's victory against Serbia.
Tamra Maiochi suffered the freak accident just as the referee blew the whistle after the game on Wednesday, which sent Neymar and his teammates through to the knock-out stages of the World Cup in Russia.
Tamra Maiochi suffered the freak accident as she was celebrating Brazil's win over Serbia
The 30-year-old had been watching the crucial match with friends at a house in Itatiba, in Brazil’s southeastern state of Sao Paulo.
According to police, Ms Maiochi had been sitting down on a sofa holding her mobile phone in one hand and sipping wine from a crystal glass in the other.
As she stood up with the rest of the group up to celebrate Brazil’s win at the end of the game, she lost her balance, reaching out to a coffee table to stop herself from falling.
But she slipped and fell onto the wine glass, which shattered into pieces which penetrated her neck, severing her jugular vein.
Friends tried to stop the blood wrapping towels around her neck but by the time emergency services arrived at the house she was dead.
Ms Maiochi, who was single, posted a photo on her Facebook page on May 31 of herself holding a glass of wine.
And in her last written post she had shared a video warning about the risks of using a mobile phone while driving, writing: “We never imagine that something like this can happen to us. But accidents do happen.

True, but who is truly prepared for a moment like that, outside of a battle?
Reading the article can be a TREMENDOUS help.

What a horrible accident!!! Prayers to her family!!!
Here, hold my wine and watch this.
She was so innocent too!
That’s why I only drink wine from plastic jugs.
Just kidding, I don’t drink at all. Someday they will find me slumped over a diet drink. Dead of missing real sugar, or getting a sugared drink by mistake.
Note to self: Never say the words ““We never imagine ...”
Who was it that had the tagline “proudly posting without reading the article since 1998” or something like that? I loved that one. One of the best ever.
You’ve never pics of the dancers at Carnival?
““proudly posting without reading the article since 1998”
I missed that one,but it is clever.:-)

A guy I knew once years ago, an Afghani immigrant - a funny guy and a damned good draftsman — said “Brazilian women are not built. They are molded.”
Like Tom Brady's wife.
No, the problem was using towels, which just soak up blood.
Something hard was required, even a palm or fingers, depending on the size of the cut.
I stopped blood from a bombing with a rock and duct tape long enough to get a person to the hospital.
Sad, but the moral of the story is...
If yer gonna drink, drink and do nothing else...
or
...red solo cup....

Literally a bunch of little decisions, and if only one of those decisions was different, would have had an entirely different outcome.
Lots of things out there trying to get us every day, and we don’t even know it.
Yet another preventable soccer-related death. Who will stop the madness?
Thanks Doc ,
That goes in my First Aid Kit!
