I almost misunderstood your question and posted this as an answer.
Luckily I reread it. I was not able to find specific policies but only
news reports so I am just posting it as a comment.
The cases I found are the following:
2000 Sydney Olympics
Ivan Ivanov – Bulgaria (Weightlifter)
“The International Olympic Committee said today (Tuesday night ET)
that it had stripped the silver medal in the 56-kilogram weightlifting
class from Ivan Ivanov, who tested positive for a diuretic.”
“More Drug Suspensions”

Sydney 2000 Paralympics
Radko Radev - Bulgaria (Weightlifter)
Marina Diakonova – Russia (Weightlifter)
Penalty – Four year suspensions
“The four-year suspensions will extend beyond the 2004 Paralympics.
Two lifters tested positive for anabolic steroids, Berbec for
Stanozolol and Mahmoudkikordkheili for Methandienone, while Diakonova
and Radev returned positive samples for banned diuretics.”

Professional Soccer:
Daniel Kennedy – Portugal Player
“Portuguese midfielder Daniel Kenedy was dropped from the World Cup
finals squad Wednesday after failing a drug test. “

diuretic furosemide, which can be used to mask other substances, on
May 14 prior to the squad's departure for their pre-finals training
base in Macau.”

Professional Cricket:
Shane Warne – Australia
“Australian Cricket Board chief executive James Sutherland
acknowledges that Warne broke anti-doping rules by taking banned
diuretics but has condemned critics who've branded the nation's
leading test and limited-overs wicket taker a drug cheat.”
“The 33-year-old legspinner claimed he'd unwittingly taken the
diuretics contained in a "fluid pill" his mother had given him so he'd
look good for TV cameras when he announced his retirement from
limited-overs cricket on Jan. 22.’

The case of Shane Warne is putting the dangers of diuretics in the
spotlight. As you said it can cause death when it leads to a fatal
kidney or heart failure.
