WATER! :shock:
QuoteJennifer Strange had taken part in the "Hold Your Wee for a Wii" game, which promised the winner a Nintendo Wii. Afterwards she reportedly said her head was hurting and went home, where she was later found dead. Initial tests have shown her death is consistent with water intoxication.
Drinking too much water can eventually cause your brain to swell, stopping it regulating vital functions such as breathing, and causing death.

Some of the comments posted in the article appear to have been formulated under water intoxication as well :hunf:
just proves once again there are no black and white "good and bad" substances. Take in much more than you should of anything and it can kill you
Ive just read about that in the paper. We where all sat in the pub tonight and where thinking about doing that....
She only drank 1.125ltrs of water over 1hr 15min... thats not a lot
It wasnt just the water, it was trying not to go when she should have and the salt in her bloodstream. It all pushed water into her brain cells. Put enough water into a cell like this and it will pop, too many dead or damaged cells and you die.
Ive seen it, it doesnt even say if say won.
