Here some questions that will be answered in court.
Did the radio station have a responsibility to have a doctor present? People have died as the DJs stated.
Did the station have a responsibility to check the health and well being of the contestants after the contest? Or is just sending them on their way good enough?
I think the station will have a hard time answering what they should have done during the contest and after for the safety of the contestants.
"This is what it feels like when you're drowning," responded one of the DJs. "There's a lot of water inside you." Knowing that they were "drowning" the contestants, what provisions did the station have for a medical professional?
No. It was a contest. Contestants are assumed to be responsible enough not to commit suicide for a stupid contest on the radio. Also, a medical examination after the contest is pointless without having conducted a medical exam of all contestants prior to starting the contest period. Without the pre-exam, there is no data to compare against in a post-exam, making a post-exam pretty pointless in and of itself.
However, here are the questions you should ask: Should the DJs have submitted their idea to the station management BEFORE going ahead with the contest? If the station management was unaware of the nature of the contest, does that make the station culpable in the death? If the young woman felt ill, why was she willing to ignore a critical bodily function just to win a stupid electronic toy? Was the young woman ALWAYS a moron, or were their other aspects in her life that contributed to her being a moron (such as chronic drug use, or an underlying medical condition she may or may not have known about)?
Despite how harsh I might sound, I'm sorry that she is dead. However,at the very most, the DJs themselves might be culpable in her death from the perspective that they didn't have station authority (if, indeed, they didn't) to stage that particular "contest".
Still, I believe that the individual has the responsibility to attend to their own safety first over the desire to win the latest electronic gadget. "Self-preservation is supposed to be a primary driving force in humans; hers was, apparently, missing or latent.
