Plus, how did he die from water? Did he drown? I don't understand.

Rainbow,
Here's a really simplistic answer from another water/hazing situation:
"Curry wasn't drinking whisky or beer, but water. Drinking as much as 15 liters of water in a short period of time—the body processes only six to eight in 24 hours—causes hyponatremia, a potentially fatal sodium imbalance in the body, says Dr. Kenney Weinmeister, who treated Curry at Presbyterian Hospital of Dallas."
There have been at least these two cases this year alone.
