Woman dies after water-drinking contest.
Byline: Christina Jewett
SACRAMENTO, Calif. _ Contestants in a radio stunt called "Hold Your Wee for a Wii" have revealed new details about an on-air water drinking contest that left a 28-year-old mother of three dead.
Jennifer Lea Strange died after drinking well over a half gallon of water Friday during the "Morning Rave" program on KDND-FM. About 18 contestants vied for a Nintendo Wii gaming console by drinking as much water as they could without going to the bathroom; Strange took second place.
James Ybarra, a Woodland, Calif., man who gave up after drinking eight 8-fluid-ounce bottles of water, or half a gallon, said that Strange kept going.
Most contestants were hoping to get the console for their children, he said. Strange showed contestants photos of her two sons and daughter.
"It is sad that a mother had to lose her life to get something for her kids," he said. "None of us knew this could be a risk to our health."
