It's all fun and games till the mother of three dies

A radio station in Sacramento is facing some serious charges after holding a water-drinking contest (dubbed "Hold your Wee for a Wii") which caused water intoxication in Jennifer Lea Strange, who was found deceased in her apartment mere hours later. What makes it worse? The people responsible for hosting the stunt knew the risks - even the risk of death.

Judy Linder, a registered nurse, was listening to the program and was so alarmed that she asked a colleague to call and warn the station."She told them you could die from water intoxication," Linder told ABC affiliate KXTV in Sacramento. "He [the disc jockey] pretty much blew that off and said they signed a release so, so what? Then he said why don't your guys come down here and do it, and we said because we don't want to die."

According to a tape of the show, the disc jockeys appeared to joke about the possible dangers of consuming too much water and alluded to a college student who had died during such a stunt in 2005."Yeah, we're aware of that," one of the disc jockeys said. Another disc jockey said: "Yeah. They signed releases, so we're not responsible. We're OK.""And if they get to the point where they have to throw up, then they're going to throw up, and they're out of the contest before they die, so that's good, right?" another disc jockey said.

And staff at the radio station knew Mrs. Strange was in pain.

Disc Jockey: "Jennifer, I heard you were not doing too well."


Strange:"My head hurts."


Disc Jockey: "Aw."


Strange: "They keep telling me it's the water. It will tell my head to hurt and that it will make me puke, but."


Disc Jockey: "Who told you that? The intern?"


Strange: "Yeah. It makes you. … It hurts, but it makes me feel lightheaded."

10 staff members - including the DJs - were fired as the result of this tragedy. Here's the big question: Should they have been fired, or was Mrs. Strange to blame for her own voluntary participation? Should the staff face legal charges and/or jail time for this tragedy?
