Probably goes well with his "LEAH BETTS = LIGHTWEIGHT" t-shirt.

Ouch. I wonder if the young'ns know that name.

I swear I once saw a picture of her in her hospital bed on the wall at a Bangface.

I remember once seeing some graffiti at a train station (somewhere round Ally Pally IIRC) that said "Anyone got Leah Betts number? She owes me a tenner for a pill".

Wait a minute she died from drinking too much water?

Essentially, yes. Went to a party, took a pill, panicked, drank too much water, panicked some more, brain swelled, life support, died.

Shit. I didn't even know water could cause brain swelling

A subsequent inquest determined that her death was actually not directly due to MDMA consumption, but rather the result of the large quantity of water she had consumed, apparently in observation of an advisory warning commonly given to ravers to drink water to avoid dehydration resulting from the exertion of dancing continuously for hours. Leah had been at home with friends and had not been dancing, yet consumed about 7 litres (12 pints) of water in less than 90 minutes, resulting in water intoxication and hyponatremia, which in turn led to serious swelling of the brain, irreparably damaging it. However, SIADH caused by the MDMA, reducing her ability to urinate, may have exacerbated her hyponatremia

nah exta-c killed her didnt you read the papers?

There was some strong vibes in the "Sorted: Just one ecstasy tablet took Leah Betts." campaign that followed, making no mention of the water intoxication.

Even more so as the Royal Mail was using "SORTED" as it's campaign slogan at the time. I also think Kellogs Cornflakes were trying to rebrand themselves as something you ate when you came home from 'raving'?

Varies from person to person depending on size/physical activity/etc, but assuming you're not taking anything that is further impairing your kidneys and/or removing the need to piss, then we're talking a LOT of water. Like 10 litres in 30mins or something, crazy amounts.

Yeah you have to drink and insane amount of water, like 3-4 big bottle of cokes worth in under an hour. Its actually scary how someone could even drink that much in any state.

Did she have a TV at home too? Lots of people that die own a TV. I'm just saying.

If he wants to make money licensing music he needs to write some whimsical feel-good ukelele tunes

Yeah I wonder whether he's making that face organically or faking it so people think he's analyzing a stock portfolio or something.
