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. oxfordeagle.com/2026/09/24/opd… supertalk.fm/oxford-police-… actionnews5.com/2026/09/25/oxf…

“I believe I was drugged” well… have you taken a drug test?!?! Pretty easy to find out for sure before going on national news 😂😂😂

Girl gets hammered for her first big game day and cops bring her back to the dorm?! If this was a dude he would be arrested. The issue in Oxford wasn’t people getting drugged, it was people voluntarily doing said laced drugs. Big difference sweetheart

What does this girls story have to do with Kratom other than clickbait and fear mongering? Weird. Do better Fox.

I generally trust @FoxNews but @OxfordPolice should sue your network for complete slander. There is a zero percent chance an OPD officer looked at a distressed 18 year old girl and put her into the back of an Uber. Zero percent. This is false and should be acted upon.

Can you imagine being underaged, trashed, and admitting not remembering anything? I’m guessing mom didn’t say something like, “maybe you shouldn’t drink until you black out.”

How long does it take to do a drug test. It wasn’t Kratom

I heard they also found dog food at both scenes. Irresponsible fake news funded by big pharma, I’ll bet my house Kratom doesn’t make the cause of death.

She should be arrested for drinking. Isn't she a minor, if she we're a guy she'd be given an MIP for being in a bar and having a drink. Instead she goes on fox news to bitch

Kratom does not produce the Beta Protein which causes respiratory depression. Quit listening to these ass clowns and do your own research.

Due diligence. Oxford Police Department’s official statement, issued after reviewing body-worn camera and city camera footage, said the student did not tell officers that her drink had been tampered with, that she had been assaulted, or that a crime had occurred. She indicated she was intoxicated and okay. Officers stayed with her throughout the encounter, provided water, contacted a family member, arranged transportation, and waited until it arrived. Police said she was not left alone in an empty vehicle; a couple was present and the rideshare driver was in communication with her family. They also said officers did not treat the situation as a joke.

I can’t imagine the pain of the 2 families. We have 2 grads of ole miss. I always felt like the police and the community at ole miss watched out for the students. Drug abuse is a national problem not just isolated to ole miss.

Do better! Fake news. Do your research! How about interviewing the police department before reporting stories solely based on a random girls "recollection" from a drunken night.
