Can you die from taking ecstasy?

Chemical name: 3-4 methylenedioxy-methamphetamine (MDMA) Chemically similar to other synthetically produced methamphetamines, that are known to be capable of causing sudden deaths from overdose, researchers are fairly confident that MDMA will have similar effects. However, more devestating is its known capability of destroying brain cells, even when taken in small quantities. Long term use can lead to catastrophic brain damage, resulting in loss of motor control or paralysis. Several deaths have been reported of people who have taken ecstasy and died as a result of "drinking too much water", which diluted their blood to the point that it could not carry oxygen sufficient to prevent brain death. It is difficult to even imagine ingesting that much water.
