A preliminary autopsy states that a woman died of "water intoxication" following a water drinking contest for a Nintendo Wii. News10 in Sacramento reports Station 107.9 The End's "Hold your wee for a Wii" contest had contestants doing exactly what the title says.

what's worse is that the lady died trying to win a wii for her three kids.
i feel sorry for the woman and her family, though i have to say that i think she(and anyone else who participated in that contest) weren't too bright in the first place. urinating is one of the body's main defenses of preventing water intoxication, so not going especially after a long period of time can hurt you.
as for the radio station, i hope they get sued into oblivion for holding such a stupid contest, and the people responsible for it get shown to the door. from my understanding, the station did not have a physician on hand for this. not only that, it seems they didn't even bother to check the consequences of having too much water in the body. idiots.
