His body was found on the floor of his bathroom last September.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At first, doctors thought McNamara had suffered a heart attack. It wasn't until an autopsy revealed that he had downed so much fluid, so fast, that his brain had swollen, The Mail reported.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"In 35 years as a pathologist I have never come across such a case," said Dr. Ian Reed, who carried out the autopsy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Water intoxication, also known as hyponatremia, is normally linked to marathon runners drinking too much water after a race. When this happens, there is so much water in the body that it dilutes vital minerals such as sodium down to dangerous levels. This can lead to confusion, headaches and in extreme cases fatal swelling of the brain, according to the report.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7864684011088232918-225030079531412685?l=newswithextrapunch.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://newswithextrapunch.blogspot.com/feeds/225030079531412685/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7864684011088232918&amp;postID=225030079531412685' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7864684011088232918/posts/default/225030079531412685'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7864684011088232918/posts/default/225030079531412685'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://newswithextrapunch.blogspot.com/2008/01/water-intoxicationdeath-due-to-drinking.html' title='Water Intoxication:Death due to Drinking Too Much Water'/><author><name>SANJU</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10170348603960987334</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='31' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_LLZO-odoUJ8/R5JK6__2B5I/AAAAAAAAAAo/1eDjYtJrbsQ/S220/celopetra.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7864684011088232918.post-9017603931052247964</id><published>2008-01-23T19:26:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-01-24T04:12:25.692-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='odd'/><title type='text'>Moose Rescue In Loon Lake</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;Some good people came to rescue of moose that was stuck in ice around Lake Loon in Washington on January 15&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;th&lt;/span&gt;

Figures for 2006 indicate that 4.3 million children were born to mothers, creating a baby &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;boomlet&lt;/span&gt;, the Associated Press reports. While is review data of birth numbers going back to 1909, they found the total number of U.S. births in 2006 was the highest since 1961, near the end of the baby boom. When the global picture is brought into focus, the United States has a higher fertility rate than every country in continental Europe, as well as Australia, Canada and Japan.while this is not a expert opinion the spurt in birth levels can be attributed to War-times and depressing economic conditions .Our economists should have taken a queue from the increased birth rates to predict coming recession.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5158063015902709714" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_LLZO-odoUJ8/R5Ue-__2B9I/AAAAAAAAABI/MFIwWUpE_HI/s320/klimt-gustav-mother-and-child.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;Population&lt;/span&gt; experts attribute the rise in births to a larger population and in particular, a growing number of Hispanics. The burgeoning Hispanic population &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;doesn&lt;/span&gt;’t completely explain the upward swing because women from all races are having more children.Some factors cited by fertility experts to explain the difference between the U.S. and other industrialized nations are: a decline in contraceptive use, a drop in access to abortion, poor education and poverty, but also better economic opportunities for American mothers returning to work.Cultural reasons contribute to the U.S. difference as well. Hispanics as a group have higher fertility rates—about 40 percent higher than the U.S. overall. Regions of America also differ in their acceptance of children. New England’s low fertility rates are similar to those of Northern Europe. However, in the Midwest, the South, and some mountain states potential parents look at children more favorably than people &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7864684011088232918-5378625376682447509?l=newswithextrapunch.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://newswithextrapunch.blogspot.com/feeds/5378625376682447509/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7864684011088232918&amp;postID=5378625376682447509' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7864684011088232918/posts/default/5378625376682447509'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7864684011088232918/posts/default/5378625376682447509'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://newswithextrapunch.blogspot.com/2008/01/recent-studies-show-that-more-babies.html' title='Baby Making Time in US'/><author><name>SANJU</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10170348603960987334</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='31' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_LLZO-odoUJ8/R5JK6__2B5I/AAAAAAAAAAo/1eDjYtJrbsQ/S220/celopetra.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp0.blogger.com/_LLZO-odoUJ8/R5Ue-__2B9I/AAAAAAAAABI/MFIwWUpE_HI/s72-c/klimt-gustav-mother-and-child.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7864684011088232918.post-1003742936327249482</id><published>2008-01-20T07:49:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-01-23T19:34:33.288-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Society'/><title type='text'>Britney Spears may add Adnan Ghalib to her estimated 130-million-dollar fortune</title><content type='html'>Britney Spears’ new paparazzo lover ;
