America: 35-year-old woman died due to drinking too much water, drink 4 liters of water in 20 minutes

Everyone would know how beneficial drinking water is for health. But if we tell you that drinking too much water can even kill you, would you believe it?
Recently a woman died due to excessive water consumption. Ashley Summers, 35, went on a weekend trip with her husband and two children, ages 8 and 3 when she died of an overdose of water.
According to Ashley's brother Devon Miller, Ashley drank 4 liters of water within 20 minutes. It usually takes a person a whole day to drink this much amount of water. Let me tell you, Ashley went on an Indiana trip with her family to celebrate the 4th of July.
During this, he started having dehydration problems and headaches. There is no shortage of water in the body, so Ashley drank 2 liters of water within a few minutes. Then after that within about 20 minutes, he drank 4 liters of water, due to which his health deteriorated.
Ashley suddenly fainted after consuming an excessive amount of water, after which she was immediately taken to the hospital. Ashley's death leaves the entire family in shock. According to doctors, the cause of Ashley's sudden death is water toxicity. Due to swelling in Ashley's brain, the blood supply to the body parts had stopped.
Water toxicity means that when a person consumes too much water, the electrolytes present in it get diluted in the blood. This causes problems of vomiting, headache, confusion, fatigue, and nausea. According to Ashley's brother, if she had drunk water more slowly instead of water, she might have been alive today.
