A Tragedy

This story is so sad. I'm sure most people wouldn't even think that someone could die of water intoxication. There seems to be a big debate as to whether the radio station should be blamed for this woman's death or if it was the woman's fault herself for choosing to participate without knowing the possible ramifications. I generally get frustrated at people who won't take responsibility for their own actions, but in this situation, a water drinking contest seemed so innocent, that I imagine most people were naive to the fact that complications could occur. I place the fault for this one on the radio station for not investigating what could come of this seemingly innocent contest.
