An Indiana mother of two, only 35, told her family she felt thirsty and downed 64 ounces of water in 20 minutes. She later collapsed, was rushed to the hospital, and later died from water toxicity.
“Someone said she drank four bottles of water in 20 minutes,” her brother Devon Miller told WRTV. “I mean, an average water bottle is like 16 ounces, so that was 64 ounces that she drank in a span of 20 minutes. That’s half a gallon. That’s what you’re supposed to drink in a whole day.”
She never regained consciousness after collapsing in their garage, and doctors told her family she had died from water toxicity.
Symptoms of water toxicity include feeling generally unwell as well as having muscle cramps, soreness, nausea and headaches.
