A Coroner has found a Victorian man died during a Tasmanian bushwalk after drinking too much water.
Jonathan Paul Dent, 30, was an experienced bush walker in good health when he died in the Dial Ranges at North Motton.
He had been walking alone and was supposed to meet his wife after four hours, but became lost and disorientated.
Search parties found his body two days later.
Coroner Michael Brett found Mr Dent most likely died from an exercise-related medical condition, caused by drinking too much water during prolonged exertion.
Severe symptoms of the condition include confusion, seizures and death.
The autopsy showed Mr Dent's brain was swollen, indicating he had drunk too much water.
Coroner Brett says there was a need for more community education about the dangers of excessive fluid consumption during exercise.
