salt mineral?

A friend of my moms lost a cow he told mom that he had given her a salt/mineral block and that she bloated and died from it....Is that possible? I could see an overload on really rich grass causing bloat but a salt and mineral block.

usually the salt is there to prevent them from over eating the mineral. I've never heard of one bloating on mineral or salt. But then, there are a lot of things I've never heard of..............
