Woman dies after Entercom Sacramento's water drinking contest - UPDATE

The hosts of the radio show have been sacked.

Extract:

"A company spokesman, Charles Sipkins, confirmed the three DJs, as well as two other on-air personalities, “Carter” and “Fester,” were among those fired. Five other employees who worked on the “Morning Rave” also were let go."

Well that's a start. - I trust this will be the last of drinking-water-to-excess contests.

Should there now be a criminal prosecution of those most responsible for organising such an obviously risky contest which occasioned the death of this 28 year old mother-of-three? And should the radio company pay an exemplary amount of money to the bereaved young family of the dead woman?
