Key Points:
- Toxicology reports for Ole Miss students Aidan Hamilton and Robert Strang, who died on Sept. 21, are pending, with families to be informed first upon completion.
- Both students were found with packages of synthetic kratom products labeled "Smax, Pseudo-DHM," which are sold at gas stations and tobacco shops for their narcotic-like effects.
- Hamilton made multiple purchases at a local vape and tobacco store, where two employees were arrested for controlled substance charges; however, it is unclear if the kratom found on Hamilton came from that store.
- Strang was found with synthetic kratom tablets and numerous nitrous oxide cans, with roommates reporting his use of Xanax and daily nitrous oxide prior to his death.
- The American Kratom Association criticized delays in identifying the specific products involved and warned that these synthetic tablets are not natural kratom leaf, urging caution among students.
