Yes. it's called overhydration. your body can't eliminate the water fast enough, and it cuases severe swelling to the point of death

Yes, too much water can kill you. It is called overhydration. Usually you die because other minerals and electrolytes in your body become so diluted that they no longer serve their function and your body essentially shuts down.

Yes.When you drink to much water your blood vessels swell up,and as they move through your veins,arteries and capillaries,they can rupture so you drown to death in your own blood.

Yes. It's overhydration. Sometimes you can even drown from this.
