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

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

Yeah, a hazing thing that got out of control.

yikes, I remember covering this topic in my law class. The radio station will probably face some lawsuits brought upon from their contest and sadly her death

Maybe....but usually everyone signs a waiver!

Actually, waivers are really useless in cases like this... it's hard to sign away your right to not die Case law has shown that waivers don't apply when there is an unsafe condition that the person putting on the contest should have known about (and therefor not done)... this is the type of case that will never go before a jury because it will be settled out of court - the case of the Chico State fraternity pledge that died from water intoxication is the huge peice of evidence needed to win this civil case.

Very sad... the three kids probably wanted their Mom a lot more than they wanted a Wii

Water is not toxic.

That is a really bad description. If one puts a saltwater fish in freshwater it will die as water will enter the cells and dilute the essential chemical reactions that keep cells alive. Some cells may even burst. But water is not toxic by definition. Very strange.

Her bladder may have ruptured and she may have died of internal hemmoraging... her kidneys which control water balance could have bled, or something like the aforementioned fish, but toxic? Nopes. I feel bad for the woman, but the article says they are waiting to determine the cause of death. Very strange.
