[unbalanced but fair]

So basically, a person who over hydrates can die from something other than pulmonary edema?

[Freedom Dignity n Honor]

Yes. From what I gather it can be cerebral edema, cranial edema and/or pulmonary edema.

Same difference. One drowns from inside whether it's the brain, brain stem or the lungs.

But there is definitely a loss of salt in the body that goes along with this.

This says it clearer:

"Overhydration can lead to congestive heart failure, cerebral edema, and pulmonary edema in the heat- stressed lung."
