Family awarded dollor 16.5 million for wrongful death in Hold Your Wee for a Wii contest
Way back in January of 2007, we reported on the Strange family, who were suing Sacramento radio station KDND-FM for the wrongful death of Jennifer Strange, who was found dead in her home after competing in a contest to try to win a Nintendo Wii. The contest -- 'Hold Your Wee for a Wii' -- involved seeing who could drink the most water without urinating, and Jennifer, who did not win, left the studio and later died. Her autopsy later showed signs of water intoxication. Yesterday, a California jury ruled a wrongful death in the case, and ordered Entercom Sacramento LLC, a subsidiary of Philadelphia-based Entercom Communications Corp., to pay $16.5 million dollars to her family as a result of the actions of the radio station's employees.Filed under: GamingFamily awarded $16.5 million for wrongful death in 'Hold Your Wee for a Wii' contest originally appeared on Engadget on Fri, 30 Oct 2009 14:29:00 EST.
