Creepy audio from Radio stunt

[mary]

You've probably heard of the radio stunt that resulted in a woman's death in California.

What kind of responsibility do you think these guys should face?

Criminal charges?

Civil lawsuit?

Family sue over Wii stunt death
Sacramento radio station KDND is being sued by the family of the woman who tragically died trying to win a Wii for her children.

Earlier in the week we reported on the sorry tale of the young mother who died of water intoxication after taking part in a radio stunt to win a Nintendo Wii. Jennifer Strange 28, mother of three, drank so much water during the competition that it lead to her death.

As we reported previously, the radio station fired ten members of staff, but as you expect, Ms Strange's family aren't seeing that as the end of the line for this tragedy. During the competition the DJs joked about the potential dangers of the competition and ignored health warnings from concerned listeners. The family are now bringing a wrongful death suit.

"The station knew this was a dangerous and potentially deadly stunt, but flippantly dismissed the dangers," said the bereaved family's lawyer Roger Dreyer. "Hearing the tape it's very clear they knew of the dangers and could foresee that this could lead to Jennifer's death."

"Outrageousness at any cost has become the industry standard - the trashier and more humiliating the better," Dreyer continued. "It's time to stop the recklessness."

Dreyer said the suit would be filed following a memorial service for Ms Strange.

Meanwhile online reports suggest that the local police are investigating the case to see if criminal charges should be brought against former radio station employees. This would be despite the previous claim of Sacramento County Sheriff John McGuinnes that he didn't think there were criminal charges to answer.

i saw that, thats incredible, can you imagine how those djs feel?

Just because someone suffers doesn't mean a party that didn't suffer is responsible.

Contestants understood the risks. They, as far as I can tell, signed the release.

As sad as this story is, I for one won't blindly blame the network.

did you read what the djs were doing though? i dont think it was directly their fault, but the fact they were laughing and joking about water intoxication and the size of her stomach because it became distended is just wrong

True that, but legal prosecution is still unjustified, IMO.
