Water is an essential part of our body. It helps clean the detox, helps reactions etc.
It is an effective and cheap appetite suppressant. It is the most consumed beverage in the world.

See, I thought she died by messing up her blood pH from all the water and making it too basic. (It was just a guess.) But I think the radio station could be sued for neglect, since stupidity isn’t technically a crime. I heard that a nurse had called in to warn them of the dangers of this stunt, but no one informed the contestants. It doesn’t matter if they signed a contract that wouldn’t hold the radio station responsible. That was a terrible, unnecessary tragedy.

Nadine, it had nothing to do with not going to the bathroom, but as Lazy Man correctly said – the electrolyte imbalance or rather dilution of salt in the body. Here is a more detailed explanation:

Good article. I drink so much ice water a day, its sickening. I guess its OK at altitude though… you pretty much have to be attached to a water bottle

From what I read, she died hours later. I thought it was an electrolyte imbalance thing, not from not going to the bathroom.

Great tips. That woman who died from the water, died from not being able to go to the bathroom. If you’re drinking, you have to let it out. That was such a stupid idea for a contest.
