New York Post • • nation
Key Points:
- Two University of Mississippi students, Aidan Hamilton and Robert Strang, died from causes linked to synthetic kratom compounds mitragynine pseudoindoxyl, MGM-15, and 7-OH found in deadly SMAX Psuedo-DHM pills.
- Hamilton died from combined use of various substances including cough syrup, while Strang's death was caused by inhalation asphyxiation, according to court disclosures.
- The Puffs Vape, Tobacco and Beer store in Oxford is believed to have sold the SMAX pills to both victims shortly before their deaths, with store employees Yahya Mosleh and his son Islam implicated in illegal sales.
- Yahya Mosleh is currently jailed, while Islam Mosleh was released on bond; the store owner, Amer Alowdi, is indicted for narcotics trafficking but has fled the country.
- The DEA classified MGM-15 and mitragynine pseudoindoxyl as Schedule I substances in August, making their sale illegal amid growing concerns over overdoses linked to these synthetic kratom products.
