Woman Dies After Wii Contest
Monday
A Sacramento County woman died over the weekend from water intoxication after participating in a radio contest called "Hold Your Wee for a Wii."As the name implies, the contest at KDND 107.9 had contestants drinking large amounts of water, and the one that could resist the urge to urinate for the longest period of time would win a Wii.
28-year-old Jennifer Strange died on Friday after participating in the contest. "She said to one of our supervisors that she was on her way home and her head was hurting her real bad," said co-worker Laura Rios. "She was crying, and that was the last that anyone had heard from her."
Another participant in the contest said that Strange told him she was trying to win a Wii for her kids.
