A tragic situation. But, last I heard, pure water was a legal substance. Civil settlement likely to avoid publicity, but what could the criminal charge be?
Also from http://cbs13.com/local/local_story_017093935.html
In February 2005, a Chico State University student died after drinking too much water in a hazing incident at a fraternity. Matthew Carrington was forced to repeatedly drink from a 5-gallon jug and then do calisthenics.
In that case, one fraternity member pleaded guilty to felony involuntary manslaughter and two others pleaded guilty to being accessories to manslaughter, among other charges.
Maybe a similar charge?
