Man, 35, drank himself to death after consuming too much water

"Recording a verdict of accidental death, coroner Donald Coverdale said: "This is indeed an unusual case and, I dare say that the consumption of excessive amounts of water may well have gone unnoticed by those around Mr McNamara, certainly less noticed than if he had been consuming large amounts of alcohol.

It wasn't known to those around him that the quantity of water he was drinking was to prove fatal".
