1UP News said:According to an Associated Press story, a Rancho Cordova, California woman who competed in a radio station contest to win a Nintendo Wii died of water intoxication Friday. Jennifer Strange, 28, was attempting to win the Wii console for her three kids.
The "Hold Your Wee for a Wii" contest put on by Sacramento radio station KDND 107.9 had contestants drinking as much bottled water as they could in order to see who could hold it in the longest. The winner was promised a free console.
Strange, who consumed several 8-ounce bottles of water, said her head hurt and was heard crying on the way home. The radio station, which did warn contestants that they shouldn't put their health at risk, states it was stunned when it heard the news.
