Water intoxication - no such thing.
What happened, is that she was complaining that her head was hurting very badly. Meaning, her brain most likely was swollen from drinking too much water. Teh brain swelling added pressure to the brain against the skull, which possibly resulted in massive hemmoraging. |

No, it's true. There is such a thing as water intoxication. The brain (and other tissues) swelling is a symptom of it.
Drinking all that water shifts the osmotic balance in the body, causing cells to expand and rupture or to simply stop working.
