You could die from eating too much ice in a couple of ways:
1) You eat a lot of ice and the ice melts into liquid water, which is absorbed by your system and causes a fatal electrolyte imbalance.
2) You eat a lot of ice, which lowers your internal body temperature so much that your organs begin to fail and you die of exposure.
3) You eat a lot of ice, which packs into your stomach and freezes your stomach lining, destroying the tissues. Your stomach can no longer function properly and you die of infection as food rots in your stomach.
There are probably more, but those are the ones that spring to mind.
By the way, you would have to eat a LOT of ice very quickly for the last two to happen.

That's not true, you're body regulates the tempeture of the ice to water so by the time it gets to your stomach, the water is regulated to your body's tempeture.. The only way I think you can hurt yourself with ice would be if the ice was sharp and cut ur mouth somehow..
Tricia, while it's true that your body is very good at regulating its own temperature, it's possible to lower the temperature faster than the body can keep up. This is how people die from hypothermia. Frostbite is also when body tissues can't stay warm enough, and ice crystals form inside the cells. I'm not saying it would be easy to eat enough ice fast enough to overcome your own homeostasis and lower your body temperature, but I'm pretty sure it could be done.
