![]() Water: The silent killer |
Jennifer Strange had the biggest bladder on the day but, some hours after the competition, was complaining to colleagues that "her head hurt real bad." A few hours later, she was dead.
The coroner recorded death by water intoxication and the station fired several employees as a result.
Now, almost two years later, Fox reports that the jurors in the wrongful death case have reached a verdict, finding the station liable for damages of US$16.5m.
A spokesman for the station said "we respect the jury's decision and hope that it will assist the Strange family in coping with its loss."
