MONTICELLO, Ind. -- A family in Indiana is issuing a warning about drinking too much water after a 35-year-old mother died of water toxicity during the 4th of July weekend.

Ashley Summers spent the holiday weekend on a lake with her husband and two daughters.

"She loved being on the water, she loved being on the lake," said her brother, Devon Miller. "They were out on a boat all weekend long, Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday."

Miller said when he received a call that Tuesday, he knew something wasn't right.

"My sister Holly called me and she was just an absolute wreck," said Miller. "She's like, 'Ashley's in the hospital. She has brain swelling. We don't know what's causing it. They don't know what they can do to get it to go down and it's not looking good.'"

Summers' family said she was feeling dehydrated earlier that day and felt like she couldn't drink enough water. They said she felt lightheaded and had a headache.
"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."

This is the first I've heard about it, and the article was posted Monday. Crazy how just 4 16 oz. bottles were enough to kill her. I'm pretty sure I've chugged more than that in less than 30 seconds >_>
