      I remember the story about the woman who won a water drinking contest for some morning radio show and died because she drank too much water. I don’t remember the exact terminology.

        Hyponatraemia. As Chubby Emu might put it (and indeed might have), “hypo” meaning low or below, “natrio” meaning sodium and “(h)aemia” meaning blood. Low sodium in the blood. You know those electrolytes they always talk about being good for you? Sodium is one of those.

        Basically diluted herself to death.
