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?

Maybe a similar charge?

I remember the Chico case. Carrington was forced to drink the water and then do calisthenics.

I don't think anyone forced the radio contestants to drink. Several reportedly left early on.

In that case, they forced him though. Maybe could bring charges, but I question whether they'd win. If I tell you to jump out of a tall building, and you do it, have I committed a crime?
