Each year a few very slow runners die from water intoxication (hyponaetremia, I think it's otherwise called) in marathons. The media picked up on it after boston this year and hyped it out of proportion.
Marathoners drink nothing but water for 5-6 hours, and a lot of it, then die from being treated for a heat injury, as the symptoms are similar.
