Theta Chi Brother Charged in Pill-Popping Death

Student Charged for Fraternity Brother's Death

A Theta Chi brother at the University of Alabama is being charged with the death of a fellow student and friend's September death. Police believe that Christoper Skelton gave fraternity brother Jamie Echols the Fetanyl which, combined with alcohol, led to his death. Skelton was also charged with illegal receipt, possession, and distribution of presription drugs. Police officials said it is not an indictment of the Greek system by any means, but hope that the fraternities at the campus have learned a lesson from the student's death.
