Your kidneys can flush out between 1 and 1.5 litres each hour, so you'll need to drink a significant amount of water in a short time span. The first result of Google Images tells me you'd need to drink 6 litres within what I assume to be 1 hour if you weigh 75 kg. As for official sources, a sciencelab.com report that is referenced in several water intoxication studies claims the LD50 of water to be >90 ml/kg. I don't recommend suicide by water intoxication.
LD50: [Rat] - Route: oral; Dose: > 90 ml/kg LC50: Not available
