Mom of 2 dies of water intoxication, family says
Ashley Summer's brother said she drank 64 ounces of water in 20 minutes
A family in Indiana is mourning the loss of a 35-year-old mother-of-two who they said died after drinking 64 ounces of water in 20 minutes.
Ashley Summers was celebrating the Fourth of July on a lake in Indiana when she started to feel intensely dehydrated, according to her brother, Devon Miller.
"At one point during the day, she started getting a bad headache," Miller told "Good Morning America." "So, she was drinking a lot of water."
Miller said Summers drank the equivalent of four 16-ounce bottles of water in 20 minutes, and then later collapsed inside the garage of her home.
"She felt dizzy and had this headache," Miller said. "They got home. She walked across the garage to go into the house and she passed out in the garage."
