Woman Dies Trying To Win Wii

Still trying to find a Nintendo Wii? Would you go to any lengths to get one? Really? Because a 28-year-old woman of Sacramento has died in a competition called "Hold your Wee for a Wii."Jennifer Strange had taken part in the game run by KDND 107.9 radio in Sacramento, which promised the winner a Nintendo Wii.

A work colleague said Ms Strange had reported her head was hurting hours after the contest and was going home. Ms Strange, 28, was found dead on Friday at her house in Rancho Cordova.

Local assistant coroner Ed Smith said initial tests showed death was "consistent with water intoxication."The people taking part in this competition were given eight ounce (225ml) bottles to drink every 15 minutes. They then moved on to larger bottles, according to fellow contestant James Ybarra, who managed five of the smaller bottles.

AP is reporting that the station said its staff were stunned at the death, but visiting the station's website, there doesn't seem to be any similar statement.
