Sure, you can over-hydrate, but when is the last time someone died from drinking too much water who hadn't also just run a marathon? Referring to a normal person who decided to up their water intake, and died later that day?

Note that the "hold your wee" part may have played some role as well, limiting how much the kidneys can process.

This is triggering my phobia of dying of a stupid death. Wow this story is so sad.
