Two Ole Miss students found dead in separate incidents — and packaged kratom was recovered at both scenes.
Authorities say they haven't confirmed whether kratom or any other substance played a role in either death. One victim, 18, was found in a dorm room. The other, 20, was found in an off-campus home. Toxicology results could take weeks.
Meanwhile, students say the university has gone largely silent. At least three Greek life events have been canceled, bars are tightening screening, and one student told Fox News Digital she was drugged at a bar over the weekend and later found passed out in her dorm hallway. "People are scared to leave their dorm rooms," she wrote on Facebook.
Community note
Oxford PD reviewed body cam & city camera footage & stated it does not support claims that officers abandoned the student or placed her alone in an Uber. She did not report drink tampering/assault to them at the time.
