Murder Charge in U. of Alabama Theta Chi's Death

Please note that so far there are only charges and an arrest; remember that in the U.S.A. people are presumed innocent until proven guilty. Station WSB has an Associated Press story on its web site:

http://www.wsbtv.com/news/10591078/detail.html

Excerpts from story:

. . . Christopher Skelton was charged Tuesday in the death of 19-year-old James Echols. Echols died September 5th after taking a high dose of fetanyl, which he allegedly got from Skelton . . . .
Skelton worked in a drugstore pharmacy and, according to an indictment released Thursday, stole several medications and gave them to his Theta Chi fraternity brothers.


I think the drug that allegedly led to Mr. Echols' death is the same one that's been mentioned in connection with a Southern Methodist U. student's drug overdose death. Please be careful, people.
