A California woman died after taking part in a radio station contest to win a Nintendo Wii:
A 28-year-old woman has died of water intoxication after taking part in a Californian radio station’s water drinking contest.
She was in the “Hold Your Wee for a Wii” competition trying to win a Nintendo Wii video game system.
Assistant Sacramento County Coroner Ed Smith said a preliminary investigation found evidence “consistent with a water intoxication death”.
Jennifer Strange’s mother found her daughter’s body at her home on Friday in the Sacramento suburb of Rancho Cordova, California, after Strange called her supervisor at her job to say she was heading home in terrible pain.
“She said to one of our supervisors that she was on her way home and her head was hurting her real bad,” said Laura Rios, one of Strange’s co-workers at Radiological Associates of Sacramento.
“She was crying and that was the last that anyone had heard from her.”
Earlier Friday, Strange took part in a contest at radio station KDND 107.9 in which participants competed to see how much water they could drink without going to the toilet.
And don’t you just know they’re going to sue the radio station ?
