I’m not familiar with usa law, but I do know that it would be very feasonable in my country to sue them. And we aren’t even the sueing kind:P

Reported earlier today:

“But in audio recordings which have been posted on the Internet, the DJs are heard joking about contestants dying of water intoxication, even referencing the death of Matthew Carrington, a student who died after drinking too much water during a fraternity hazing. A caller, who identified herself as Eva, also phoned in to the show to warn that the stunt could kill, but she was dismissed by being told that contestants had “signed releases, so we’re not responsible.”

In light of the new information from the audio tapes, an investigation has been launched, stated a spokesperson for the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Department.

Sgt. Timothy Curran said, “We have decided we will open a death investigation which will take weeks and on conclusion our findings will be forwarded to the local district attorney to decide whether to lay criminal charges.”

Well now I think that those guys do need to be taught a lesson since they knew there were serious health risks involved with this type of contest (yeah death is pretty serious) and they didn’t make it clear to the contestants how dangerous it could be.
