Girl dies of water overdose (video)
 
A radio station in Sacramento had a water drinking contest.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/16687211/ video is here

SACRAMENTO, Calif. - As participants in KDND-FM?s water-drinking contest chugged bottle after bottle, a listener called in to warn the disc jockeys that the stunt was dangerous ? and could be fatal.

?Yeah, we?re aware of that,? one of them responded.

Another DJ said with a laugh: ?Yeah, they signed releases, so we?re not responsible. We?re OK.?

Those comments, and others made during the Jan. 12 ?Morning Rave? radio show, appeared to give little regard to the risk of water intoxication ? until a woman died just hours after imbibing nearly two gallons in the contest.

In a much-publicized case of fraternity hazing, four members of the Chi Tau (Formally Delta Sigma Phi) House at California State University, Chico pled guilty to forcing 21-year-old student Matthew Carrington to drink excessive amounts of water while performing calisthenics in a frigid basement as part of initiation rites on February 2, 2005.[6] He collapsed and died of heart failure due to water intoxication.
And the waiver only covered publicity issues and did not mention health or safety concerns.

On January 12, 2007, Jennifer Strange, a 28-year-old woman from Rancho Cordova, California, was found dead in her home by her mother hours after trying to win a game console in KDND 107.9 "The End" radio station's "Hold Your Wee for a Wii" contest, which involved drinking large quantities of water without urinating. Every 15 minutes contestants were given a bottle of water to drink. It was reported that original amounts were very small (250 mL, 8 fl. oz.) and the bottle size increased as contestants progressed. On January 15 the radio station suspended the show, and the following day John Geary, vice president and general manager of KDND's parent company, Entercom/Sacramento, fired the three hosts of KDND-FM's "Morning Rave" (Trish, Maney, and Lukas) and seven other employees, two of which were the On-Air personalities "Carter" and "Fester". The "Morning Rave" had been on the air for about five years and was one of the capital's top-ranked morning drive programs. In all, according to witness reports, Strange may have drunk nearly two gallons. Afterward, she appeared ill when she went on the air, one contestant said. Following the contest, Strange called in sick to work. About five hours later she was found dead at her home. In the studio, Ybarra said Strange showed fellow contestants photographs of her two sons and daughter, for whom she was hoping to win the Wii. The game console retails for about $250 but, at the time of the competition, it was sold-out throughout North America and was almost impossible to find yet very sought-after.[7][8] Gina Sherrod, who competed with Strange in the contest, said her family listened to the radio show, and told her that a nurse was on air warning that drinking too much water is dangerous. Sherrod said a DJ rebuffed the nurse, saying the contestants signed waivers; however, it was later reported these waivers addressed only publicity issues and did not mention health or safety concerns. Sherrod said she had no idea what risk she had taken until she saw news of Strange's death.[9][10][11][12][13]

Read this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_intoxication

2SetTheWorldonFire: your "news" is old. It was posed on cnn.com a few days ago: http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/01/13/wat....ap/index.html

Ya... I do think it's kinda fucked up that no one at the station paused for a second and thought "could this be bad for them? Should we have an EMT on hand?" - even after the warning call from the listener, and the gals complaining about headaches and not feeling well at the end of the contest.

They even were all like, 'Hey. - is anyone dying over there yet?'

She was a mother. Sad for the family.

But then - I guess it could also be said that this epitomizes "natural selection"

J. Falcon 01-18-2007 07:10 PM

"sorta".. it causes an electrolyte imbalance. If the contest would have supplied gatorade or something similar this tragedy would have been averted.

And you might want to read up on drowning, because it is nothing like drowning.

Actually 'your' wrong, gatorade would have actually prevented hyponatremia from occuring. :2 cents:

Simplified version of what occurs when your electrolytes get that dilluted is your cells begin to swell up and eventually rupture (espeically in the nervous system and brian).

SIGHS? I hate having to explain to people every little fucking thing. Use google next time god damn it. I didn?t say it was exactly like drowning, I said it was SORTA like drowning, which of course it is.

"From the cell's point of view, water intoxication produces the same effects as would result from drowning in fresh water."
