SACRAMENTO — A Sacramento area radio station today fired 10 employees - including its three morning disc jockeys - after a mother of three died Friday following an on-air water-drinking contest at the station's studios.

The hosts of K-D-N-D-F-M's "Morning Rave" program were fired a day after the station announced it was suspending the show and investigating the circumstances surrounding the death of 28-year-old Jennifer Lea Strange.

Strange was one of about 18 contestants who tried to win a Nintendo Wii gaming console by seeing how much water they could drink without going to the bathroom.

Strange was hoping to win the console for her children. But after ingesting nearly two gallons of water she appeared ill at the studio and was found dead hours later in her home.

Authorities say early autopsy findings indicate she died of water intoxication.
