I had a  friend die in the hospital and his level  of potassium was  6 times the leathel dose how can that be his organs were functioning how come he didn't die with the first amount of leathel potassium or the second and so on is there anyone that can clear this up I would appreciate it thank you   ***@****

Too much potassium can be bad for anybody...they actually use potassium chloride in HIGH concentration for lethal injection.  They use the same thing in IV's in low doses to keep people hydrated in the hospital.  Too much of anything can be bad.  I think it would be VERY difficult to bring yourself to the point where you had too much potassium.
