It appears no criminal charges will be filed against anyone, particularly the radio station DJs in charge of the contest, in the case of the death of Jennifer Strange. For those who missed it, a local radio station held a “Hold your wee for a Wii” contest, forcing contestants to drink as much water as they could and hold it in as long as they could. Miss Strange suffered from water intoxication and died later that day.
Jennifer Strange, 28, willingly participated in the contest by Sacramento radio station KDND-FM and showed no visible symptoms to suggest that she was seriously ill or in danger of dying, Sacramento County District Attorney Jan Scully said in a statement.
“She knew what the contest involved when she entered it and had the option to stop or discontinue her participation in the contest at any time,” said Scully, outlining how prosecutors contemplated — and ultimately decided against — filing charges of involuntary manslaughter.
