Nina Hulst, right, the mother of Jennifer Lea Strange, who died from water intoxication after participating in a radio contest, wipes her eyes as attorney Roger Dreyer answers a question concerning the wrongful-death lawsuit he filed against radio station KDND-FM and dozens of its employees, in behalf of Strange's family, during a news conference, Thursday, Jan. 25, 2007, in Sacramento, Calif. Strange, 28, died on Jan. 12, just hours after drinking nearly two gallons of water during an on-air contest sponsored by the station, in the hope of winning a Nintendo Wii gaming console. The lawsuit alleges that KDND-FM, DJs and other employees were negligent in failing to research the contest and warn participants about the risks, and that they failed to get medical help even after participants complained about getting sick.
