"They were out on a boat all weekend long, Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday.
"Someone said she drank four bottles of water in that 20 minutes," said Miller. "... Her bottle of water is like 16 ounces, so that was 64 ounces that she drank in the span of 20 minutes. That's half a gallon. That's what you're supposed to drink in a whole day.", Summers made it home that night, but passed out in her garage and never regained consciousness. Doctors told her family she died of water toxicity.
Dr. Blake Froberg with Indiana University Health told WRTV water toxicity occurs when a person drinks too much water quickly. Froberg said it's a rare occurrence but encourages people - including those who work outside or exercise frequently - to have a hydration plan, especially during summer months.
