An Indiana mother died from water toxicity on a hot summer day.
MONTICELLO, Ind. - An Indiana family warned people that in the hot summer months you can drink too much water, and it can be deadly.
“They were out on the boat all week and long Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday,” Devon Miller said.“My sister Holly called me, and she was just an absolute wreck,” he said. “She’s like, ‘Ashley’s in the hospital. She has brain swelling. They don’t know what’s causing it. They don’t know what they can do to get it to go down and it’s, it’s not looking good.’”
“It was a shock to all of us when they first started talking about water toxicity. And it was like, ‘This is a thing?’” her brother said.
