B....wasn't there a past president that died of the same thing? Or something similar?

you got me there...how far in the past are we talking?

trying to find it as we speak....thought it was the early part of last century.

Tragic story.....

isn't it sad? that she was just doing a stunt she thought was harmless to win somthing for her kids...

could be confused with Zacahary Taylor dying from cholera morbus....but maybe he contracted that from drinking too much water??? who knows...

There was an episode of St. Elsewhere, I think, that dealt with this.. Guy would stand in the shower drinking gallons. I had never heard of it before and not again until now..

Many of the deaths of people on x-tacy are from drinking too much water.

actually now that you mention it I think I had heard that...I just always think of them dying because they get too overheated and fry their brains:D

Those crazy ravers!

*raises hand* guilty....:rolleyes: but it's been a while

note to self: stay away from my sons' friends!

;) can't always be an angel

every now and then would be nice for her though....:eek: :eek:

if I tried that, no one would recognize me :D

LMFAO.....very good point.:p I wouldn't...that for sure:D

Didn't a frat kid die a couple of years ago from drinking too much water as a test ?:cool:

Yeah, a hazing thing that got out of control.
