Ruling out drowning and taking it as otherwise natural (i.e. oral) ingestion, starting with a healthy, hydrated adult in 75 degree F weather under non-strenuous conditions, and not immediately purging oneself or diluting the salt-water with fresh water for an hour... I'm not sure but easily less than a gallon, likely closer to a quart. I've researched and found that it would only immediately serve to dehydrate you and cause kidney failure. Animal Planet's "I Shouldn't Be Alive" mentioned that a mere PINT could cause kidney failure. Impending death after that though would take a day or longer still without treatment, but is likely avoidable if treated.
Every person is different, and the answer largely depends on hydration levels. However, generally 0.45 gram per pound of body weight is lethal. So, for example, for the average 150-lb. person, 15 teaspoons would likely be lethal.
No, but an intoxication with salt is not impossible although I have not heard of such a case.
only a teaspoon
Common salt kills a frog. Just pour some salt on the frogs back and see what happens. people kill frogs. just like people kill people. salt does not kill a frog .it just agitates them and make them go all crazy.

No, Salt water doesn't directly kill people. If you swim in salt water, it cannot kill you. If you drink some salt water you'll be fine. However, if you ONLY drink salt water it can kill you, because your body will use more water than it gains to try to flush the excess salt out of your system.
