A family in Indiana is mourning the loss of a 35-year-old mother-of-two who they said died after drinking 64 ounces of water in 20 minutes.
Ashley Summers was celebrating the Fourth of July on a lake in Indiana when she started to feel intensely dehydrated, according to her brother, Devon Miller.
"At one point during the day, she started getting a bad headache," Miller told "Good Morning America." "So, she was drinking a lot of water."
Miller said Summers drank the equivalent of four 16-ounce bottles of water in 20 minutes, and then later collapsed inside the garage of her home.

They gave us 2 salt tablets, about the size of an aspirin, to take in the Marines whenever we had to do outside PT in hot weather...................
“(We were convinced that kitchen tap was better than bathroom tap.)”
I grew up in Minnesota and we had a soft-water tank. The regular water had lots of minerals in it, so the bathrooms and dishwasher was hooked up through the soft water so the soap would work better.
The kitchen tap used the unsoftened water with all of the yummy minerals in it. It was immensely better tasting than the bathrooms.
Spent several hours Wed night with friends at the ER. They had gone out to dinner and then when leaving restaurant, the man told his wife “I’m dizzy and I’m going to pass out.” He was also apparently hallucinating and rambling semi-coherently. He then did become unconscious in the passenger seat, and she drove him to the ER, where he received a number of tests, and two liters of IV fluids. He was sent home 3 or so hours after arriving, but was still not right the next day.
1) No AC
2) Sesame Chicken
3) Very thirsty and 4 glasses of water before and with dinner.
4) Much chemtrailing day previous. Possible dessicants in air.
5) No alcohol; they do not drink
For fine table salt I use Redmonds from their salt mine in Utah. Excellent salt.
I do a lot of picking, fermenting, and canning, so I use a lot of salt. The gigantic Himalayan chunks I get from Amazon.
The difference is between filtered water and tap water. Tap water is fine.
Dehydration + filtered water = loss of minerals like potassium.
Every hiker knows this equation.
” Much chemtrailing day previous. Possible dessicants in air.”
BAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
She more than likely depleted her salt levels.
You’re right.
If she really was dehydrated, 2 quarts of water should not have killed her with water intoxication.
64 ounces is 1/2 gallon of water. Doesn't seem to
be that much.
That better get looked at. If it goes on too long you can get organ failure or get a cracked head from falling over.
Polish cropdusters. (Chemtrails)
I’m glad we grew up when we did. Idyllic days. We also used to spend lots of time on our bikes. Sometimes barefoot. And nobody had a bicycle helmet. I don’t know if we even knew they existed. 😄
Same. We were so incredibly fortunate.
Life was the best. Bikes were everything.
What, there is no warnings on water bottles? I’m betting that California will get right on it.
WC Fields warned people about water.
Thats not much water.
SUDDEN and UNEXPECTED death of the waxxxxxxxinated must be investigated to determine if the death was waxxxxxxxxxine related.
Yep.
Nothing new, they say.
Nothing to see, here.
Himalayan pink salt, lick the back of my hand and lick up what has stuck at least once a day. Table salt BAD, salt with all the attendant other minerals are good. I also drink about 50 oz of water ever morning before lunch. I drink half of that taking pills in the morning. Once I begin, I release what the kidneys say to do, and a little more.
Me too, powerade though. One that is refrigerated, and one half full at room temp. Mix them together, and you make about 60 ounces of cool drink. Cold is not satisfying, neither is warm. 50/50 hot cold is just right.
“SALT, she was in need of salt.”
My first thought too - she was likely ‘following her doctor’s advice’ to ‘watch her sodium’. Not smart, should have done her own research.
