Quinn McPherson, a South Australian tradie, pleaded guilty to conduct endangering life after his friend Alex Robinson died during a play fight on May 13, 2023. Initially charged with manslaughter, McPherson's plea reflects a lesser charge. Robinson, 20, was placed in a chokehold by McPherson while they were on FaceTime with friends. After noticing Robinson turning blue, McPherson called for help, but Robinson was declared dead at the scene. McPherson is currently on bail and may receive a community corrections order instead of prison time. Sentencing is scheduled for March 27, 2025.
