Two University of Mississippi students were found dead on the Ole Miss Campus just after 1:30 p.m. Monday, police said. An investigation is underway into the death of Ole Miss students' death as authorities said packaged kratom was found during the separate search and investigations. “We do not know if it’s connected to either one of these deaths, but we want to warn the public that this could be a possibility in trying to get anyone else involved,” Lafayette County Sheriff Joe East said.
As of now, there is no confirmation that the death of Ole Miss students were linked to packaged kratom or overuse of drugs. The Lafayette County Sheriff's Office issued a statement saying that packaged kratom sold from a retail store was found during both investigations, adding that there is no confirmed information indicating that kratom or any other substance was a contributing factor in either death.
