Fox News • • nation
Key Points:
- Toxicology reports for the suspicious deaths of two University of Mississippi students, Robert Strang and Aidan Hamilton, are expected next week, with narcotics detectives involved in the investigation.
- Mississippi authorities may pursue charges under Parker’s Law if fentanyl is found to have caused the deaths, targeting those responsible for selling the drug.
- Oxford police arrested two men linked to a local tobacco shop, Puffs Vape, Tobacco and Beer Store, during a narcotics raid where large quantities of kratom and THC products were seized; it is unclear if this is connected to the student deaths.
- The store’s previous owner was indicted on narcotics trafficking charges in 2022 but fled the country, raising questions about how the business remained operational.
- Officials have not ruled out foul play in the deaths but await autopsy results and further evidence before making final determinations.
