No, He just wasn't just not hydrated enough. He failed to drink enough fluids, and probably was dehydrated before he even started out.
Everyone has enough salt in their system, they don't need more just because they sweat. In fact most people these days have far too much salt in their system which is what causes them to retain to much fluids, have high blood pressure, bloating, and other nasty stuff.
We all need a small amount of salt in our system, but too much is also a deadly poison. We get more than we need from the food we eat, and no amount of sweating requires us to take more.
There was a time when the army thought we needed a salt tablet to help us retain water. But that was proven false ages ago.
If dehydrated people needed salt, why do you think people lost at sea die when they drink sea water?
