#2 Any time some leftist makes the claim that there isn't "too much government" I'll wave that MSDS in their face.

Jeesh.

#3 She came in second. Sad story but I understand this is not the first time that someone has died from water intoxication.

#5 She said she was in great pain before she went home. That's not a symptom of water intoxication, as far as I know. I'd be curious if the autopsy found something like a burst bladder or kidney damage.

#6 Burst bladder & most kinds of kidney damage will not kill someone as quick as she died. Brain swelling, a known complication of water intoxication, could well cause a severe headache prior to loss of consciousness.
Latest news tonight: 10 employees of the radio station involved in this stunt have been fired.
