“I didn’t ever think about the cola. I never considered it would do any harm to a person. It’s a soft drink ... I didn’t think a drink’s going to kill you,” Mr Hodgkinson, reportedly said.
He estimated she drank between 4.5 and eight litres a day for seven or eight years before she died.
Last year according to reports, Ms Harris’s autopsy showed she had a diseased liver but the cause of death was undetermined.
Mr Hodgkinson said he had been informed his partner, and the mother of their eight children, had a heart aneurysm caused by too much cola.
Major cola company managing director said at the time that Mr Hodgkinson’s claims were 'patently untrue'.u00a0
