I guy died at Air Force basic training back in 2001 from drinking too much water. It happens, but 64oz seems way to small of an amount to do it.
ETA: It was 1999. Las Vegas Sun

The 1999 death involved a 19-year-old Air Force recruit who collapsed during a 5.8-mile walk at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio. His body temperature had climbed to 108 degrees and his sodium levels were low from overhydration.

In October 2000 the branches of the military issued new water consumption guidelines for training in hot environments, warning: "ingestion of large amounts of water -- greater than 1 1/2 quarts per hour -- may lead to hyponatremia, which is a life-threatening condition."

My only guess is for that small of an amount of water to poison her she'd of had to have been dehydrated as hell. Like major dehydrated.
This is why you replenish electrolytes first after you are done sweating then drink water.
