She was a mother of three. I don't get why the radio station should get sued. It's common sense, if you drink too much water, you can die. She decided to participate in the contest, the radio station should be void of any lawsuits.
I'm sure she had to sign and contract and stuff too if she was participating in this. Sad story though. My condolences go to her family and friends.
what a stupid idiot, i think most people know that if you drink too much water you drown yourself (water escaping into your lungs and filling them)

Thats not what happens, it lowers the salt level in your body and your brain swells.

I think that ignorant people should not have to die because of their ignorance, this was way reckless on the radio station's part, they should be sued, and the woman's family should receive some money. You can't play games like that with the public.
I didn't know that people could die from excessive drinking of water. It makes sense now that I read the details, but had never heard of it happening. Just a sad situation.

Stupid is as stupid does.
