Man enters guilty plea for drinking-game death

JOPLIN, Mo. — The uncle who challenged 11-year-old Tyler Fecko to a drinking game that led to the Joplin boy’s death pleaded guilty today to murder and child-endangerment charges.

Fecko died of alcohol poisoning on July 27, 2009, after being found unconscious in the home of his uncle on East Central Street. Police alleged that he had consumed shots of Jim Beam whiskey with the uncle’s girlfriend the previous night in response to his uncle’s prodding.
