Colorado teen one of 2 Ole Miss students found dead with kratom packages nearby
- On Monday, September 21, University of Mississippi students Aidan Hamilton and Robert Strang were found dead at separate locations; authorities discovered kratom at both scenes, though official causes remain under investigation.
- The University of Kentucky addressed the deaths in a campus-wide email sent Thursday, warning that kratom, which the FDA has not approved for medical use, can cause "drowsiness, dizziness, nausea, impaired judgment and dependence."
- Agents from the Lafayette County Metro Narcotics Unit raided the Puffs Vape, Tobacco and Beer Store in Oxford on Thursday, seizing "more than 500 units of kratom" and arresting three individuals on drug-related charges.
- Authorities are awaiting autopsy and toxicology results to determine if kratom played a role in the deaths; Lafayette County has prohibited the substance since 2019.
- Experts like Steve Carleton, chief clinical officer at Porch Light Health, warn manufacturers are increasing 7-OH levels in kratom by "300% to 400%," creating significant overdose risks while federal regulation remains pending.
