Water Intoxication no less.

Proof that too much of anything is bad for ya. Moderation folks....

Thank God no one's trying to blame this on the game industry.

That being said, it's a sad story. So young, and leaving three kids behind...

They mentioned the whole incident and talked about it for like 15 minutes on the MMA radio show "Beatdown" which I listen to every now and then while surfing the net. Apparently 10 employees were fired, the radio station had charges pressed against them but due to the release forms, which warned of the possibility, there are no grounds for criminal charges. The amount of water that the woman drank was huge, almost 8 liters.

This incident seems to be reported all over the place, it is tragic, but stuff like this happens all the time. If anyone learns anything, don't drink 8 liters of water =p

Interesting about this episode of beatdown, it includes both Ken and Frank Shamrock =)
