hoseFatal attraction: Due to a bizarre condition, Andrew Else drank so much water from a garden hose that his heart failed
A man suffering from a rare 'aquaholic' thirst was found dead after drinking a massive volume of water directly from a garden hose, an inquest has heard.
Andrew Else, 51, was found drenched and lifeless outside his care home after staff spotted him drinking from the hose.
He is said to have developed an unquenchable thirst after suffering a stomach condition in his 20s.
He would go to extreme lengths to satisfy his cravings, regularly drinking from bathroom taps.
Staff at the home were told to monitor him after he was seen drinking from the hosepipe but he was soon spotted again standing by the tap in soaking clothes.

SINC SAYS:
I’ve seen some drinkers in my day, but nothing that compares to this guy.
