I saw something about it in Fortean times a couple of years ago.

Good article. But what about if the person is relatively healthy (physically and mentally).

I doubt it, it's like the "can you strangle your self to death" debate, every cell in the body would be screaming to stop, i don't think you could push past that point being mentally sound.

What Jonny thought was H20 was H2S04.

The answer is yes.

A woman died in the U.S. a few years back from drinking too much water.

I think it was in California. She was in some water drinking contest. Not sure if she won or not.
