A reminder to you water lovers...



Water intoxication' kills radio contestant



Tried to consume as much as possible without urinating in bid for video game
January 15, 2007

SACRAMENTO, Calif.–A woman who competed in a radio station's contest to see how much water she could drink without going to the bathroom died of water intoxication, the coroner's office said Saturday.

Jennifer Strange, 28, was found dead Friday in her suburban Rancho Cordova home hours after taking part in the "Hold Your Wee for a Wii" contest in which KDND 107.9 promised a Nintendo Wii video game system for the winner.

"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.''

It was not immediately known how much water Strange consumed.

A preliminary investigation found evidence "consistent with a water intoxication death," said assistant coroner Ed Smith.

Water intoxication is a potentially fatal disturbance in brain function resulting when a rapid intake of water pushes the body's electrolyte balance past safe limits. Electrolytes are any of various ions, such as sodium, potassium, or chloride, that cells need for their most basic functions. It's important for the body's balance of electrolytes to be maintained because they affect the amount of water in and out of cells, blood acidity, muscle action and other vital processes.

John Geary, vice-president and marketing manager for Entercom Sacramento, the station's owner, said station personnel were stunned when they heard of Strange's death.

"We are awaiting information that will help explain how this tragic event occurred," he said.

Initially, contestants were handed eight-ounce bottles of water (equivalent to about 237 ml) to drink every 15 minutes.

"They were small little half-pint bottles, so we thought it was going to be easy," said fellow contestant James Ybarra of Woodland. "They told us if you don't feel like you can do this, don't put your health at risk.''

Talk about times of change, our town has a ban on throwing candy in parades. *shakes head*

I'm too old to seriously consider lipo, I mean really, what would be the point ?? Younger women, I can understand this procedure.

I'm gonna have to rely on patience and hard work.

M2M said"It's moments like this I wish I had an indoor bike" tell me M2M would that be a 2 seater, one for you and the other one for your chauffeur"T2":D Somebody needs to drive!:) Just don't go thru no tunnels.:p
 
Hey Randy, Just stopping by to say hi again and catch up. I"m with you on the lipo tummy tuck thing, even though I'm not as old I feel like it'd be a waste of good fun money when I'm just going to die and turn to dust anyways. I'll spend it on my mid life crisis car.

--Alena--(oooooh, did I just do that?)
 
OK, so I have had a two seater bike, and YES, I used to sit in the back (any surprise there?)

Except for the one time I went bar hopping on it and got pulled over by a policeman. He said to me, "Young Lady, do you realize I can take you in for driving while intoxicated?"

He honestly seemed surprised when I couldn't stop laughing!

Needless to say, he put the the rear end passenger in front and sent us home!

:eek:
 
M2M, Now that's funny:eek: I wish I was there to see it. O.K. I'm going to stop picking on you now!:rolleyes: I think I'll go and Pick on Pequin now:D Bye=)
 
That is a sad newspaper article T. I wonder if there is an exact formula to how much water one can safely consume.

Have a great evening!

Too funny :D Yet another connection that the hardened criminals gravitate to my diary !! Me thinks you have other stories to top this one :) I just know I'm right ;)

Sadly, his weight was a contributor to low esteem.

He wrote:

his exit song was:

End of the Line by The Traveling Wilburys

The timeline to his last login seems relative to his plans. The song is rather haunting to hear but a choice to say his mind was made up and there was no turning back.

I muse at suicide and those who do it. I can't think of an act that takes more courage to complete, probably moreso than the act it would take to correct the problem that led to suicide. It just makes me wonder.

You made me curious too. Those this is long-winded and gives no definitive answer, it at least gives amounts that seem reasonable as an average for total beverage consumption, not just water only, I suppose one could do their own adjustments though.

Isn't it funny how like kind pool together? Almost like mold spores ;)

Me thinks you have other stories to top this one I just know I'm right

Who Me?
I don't have any stories!
 
I'm sure it's close. It's definitely an argument I don't want to win - but but but...

Sometimes I wish I had the resources for lipo - kinda.

I dont have the $ either, but ill find it i tell you!
Dont want to be walking down the road tripping over my own saggy skin :D
lipo im not fussed on, i just want the extra skin gone (and perhaps my boobs back)
 
Well no time to lose today, just a few more minutes to finish the coffee and waiting for the ipod to complete its charge. Most days in the winter I wait for midday warmth, right now it's as warm as it's gonna get. Our first 'storm' is schedule to be here within hours so time is of the essence.

Off for a 5 miler. I'll be back later to annoy the forum (as per usual).

Peace.
 
HEY! T2! Ia m back. No vacation, just bad weather and the flu, iwth lots of food I shouldn't have had. I've come this far and one thing I've learned is that at some point, you will go back to eating bad things. Sucks, but true. So I start again today and marvel at you for going outside. Don't plan to go there myself. I'd never warm back up!!! Have a great day!:)
