She drank two liters of water in 20 minutes and thought she was dehydrated after losing consciousness and was rushed to the hospital where she died after doctors failed to revive her.
Devon Miller, Ashley’s older brother, also experienced a terrible situation. “Someone claimed she consumed four bottles of water in those 20 minutes. She drank 64 ounces (or nearly 2 liters) in just 20 minutes, which is more than a typical 16-ounce bottle.

This mother’s impulse to drink a lot of water was fatal because she neglected to stay hydrated during the day.
Water toxicity was listed as the cause of death, which is very unusual but happens when a lot of water is consumed quickly, as was Ashley’s case.
In an interview with WRTV, Dr. Blake Froberg said that since the disease is more common in the summer and in people who exercise a lot or work outside in very hot temperatures, they should follow a regular hydration regimen. You have too much water and not enough sodium in your body, he said, which is generally what happens.
As we reflect on this heart-wrenching story, let’s keep in mind the importance of staying hydrated while understanding the potential risks of consuming too much water in a short time frame. Awareness and moderation can prevent similar tragedies and ensure that we maintain a healthy balance that respects our body’s needs.

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