Indiana Woman Dies After Drinking Too Much Water
Ashley Summers, a mother of two from Indiana, died after drinking approximately 2L of water in just 20 minutes. She became lightheaded and had symptoms of dehydration, so she consumed four 500ml bottles of water in a short period of time.
Ashley collapsed at home and was later diagnosed with water toxicity hyponatremia, which occurs when there is too much water in the body and not enough sodium. The excessive water intake caused severe brain swelling, and Ashley never regained consciousness.
