AdvantageTimberLou Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 I heard that a woman died from a radio stunt but I can't find anything online. I heard it on the radio this morning. She was a mother of 3 and the prize was a Nintendo WII game system. They said it was drinking game with water, how much you could take before you had to go pee. If anyone has seen the story please post it. Prayers and condolences go out to her family, sounds like she did this for her kids and its sad to see a radio stunt end like this. I guess the radio station fired 10 people as a result!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

need2hunt Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 Re: Woman dies from Radio Stunt? Also saw a local news report that was posted on youtube. Said they were given bottles of water that they had to drink every ten minutes (cnn says 15) started with small bottles and progressively got bigger. They went for over 3 hours according to that report. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdvantageTimberLou Posted January 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 Re: Woman dies from Radio Stunt? That is truly sad, doing it for her kids and it cost them their mom! This is the first time I have ever heard of this type of death, water intoxication? Thanks for posting the story, let us all pray for her family. 28 years old and 3 kids without a mom....

007hunter Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 Re: Woman dies from Radio Stunt? Very Sad...I've heard of water intoxication before. I guess someone on here was having a watermelon eating contest and one of the Docs on here warned them of water intoxication and its effects...

Guest Andrea Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 Re: Woman dies from Radio Stunt? Pretty stupid if you ask me. What people have done for the PS3 and the new Nintendo is just unexplicable. Too much water dilutes the blood in your system. Hey, what about the radio station that wanted to know what people would give them for the PS3 they had??? A couple offered them their NEWBORN BABY!!!! And they were serious!! It was all over the news during Christmas time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tominator Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 Re: Woman dies from Radio Stunt? I heard some sound clips on the radio this morning where she's complaining of feeling sick, and another woman warns the radio idiots that "they can get water poisoning..." and the radio idiots say "yes, we are aware of water poisoning..."

wtnhunt Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 Re: Woman dies from Radio Stunt? Caught part of the story on the woman who died from water intoxication, but did not hear the part about it being a result of some contest. That is really sad.

[ QUOTE ] thats a very very sad sorry, i hope the family sues the station to help raise those poor kids [/ QUOTE ] I'm not trying to start anything but the contest was totally voluntary. The contestants were not forced to participate. According to what I read the participants also signed a waiver. I agree that it's a sad story but why should the radio station be held accountable for someone's voluntary actions? JMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodsman2230 Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 Re: Woman dies from Radio Stunt? the contest was to see how much water they coud drink without goin to the restroom. She over hydrated I guess and passed on. Its a terrible thing to happen to that family. My prayers are with them to help them get through this tragedy.
