9. US water contest radio sacks 10 The KDND 107.9 station in Sacramento sacked the hosts of its morning show and other members of staff. The show had challenged listeners to drink as much water as they could to win a Nintendo Wii video game system. One participant - Jennifer Strange - later died as a result of drinking too much water, initial tests showed. Ms Strange, 28, said she wanted to win the game - "Hold Your Wee for a Wii" game - for her children. A work colleague said Ms Strange had complained her head was hurting hours after the contest and was going home. She was found dead on Friday at her house in Rancho Cordova. The Sacramento County coroner later said preliminary autopsy findings suggested she had died of water intoxication.
