This mother’s impulse to drink a lot of water was fatal because she had neglected to stay hydrated during the day.

The world was shocked by the news that a mother of two had died after consuming two liters of water.

Ashley Summers, 35, of Indiana was on vacation with her family over the Fourth of July holiday when the sweltering heat began to bother her. She drank two litters of water in a 20-minute period, thinking she was dehydrated, after she lost consciousness and was taken to the hospital, where she passed away when doctors were unable to revive her.

This mother’s impulse to drink a lot of water was fatal because she had neglected to stay hydrated during the day.

Water toxicity was given as the cause of death, which is highly uncommon but happens when a lot of water is consumed quickly, as it did in Ashley’s case.

In an interview with WRTV, Dr. Blake Froberg said that since this illness is more common in the summer and in persons who exercise a lot or do outside work in very hot temperatures, they should follow a regular hydration regimen.

According to reports, the deceased Ashley was an organ donor who gave her heart, liver, lungs, and long bone tissue.

We sincerely regret this mom’s untimely death. Let her soul rest in peace.
