Toxicology reports reveal same controlled substances in 2 Ole Miss students found dead

The full report

According to federal court documents obtained by Fox News Digital, toxicology reports revealed that the same three substances were present in the bloodstreams of two recently deceased University of Mississippi students, Aidan Hamilton and Robert Strang. The substances, Mitrogynine, MGM-15, and MGPI, are all Schedule 1 controlled substances. The revelations come ahead of the public release of the full toxicology report.

The three substances were found in Smax-Mango Breeze pills, which investigators determined Hamilton and Strang had in their possession at the time of their deaths on September 21. KRATOM INDUSTRY WARNS SYNTHETIC OPIOIDS SHOULD NOT BE CALLED 'KRATOM'

During the investigations, packaging associated with kratom-related products was discovered at both locations, according to Lafayette County Metro Narcotics. Specifically, officers found packages of Smax Mango Breeze MGM-15 with price tags reading $39.99, each with a black smudge on the first 9, at both sites.

Law enforcement officers arrested 51-year-old Yahya Mohamed Mosleh and his son, 18-year-old Islam Mohamed Mosleh, on charges connected to a narcotics' investigation involving an Oxford tobacco shop, Puffs Vape, Tobacco and Beer Store. The men are facing federal drug charges after investigators say they traced purchases made by Strang and Hamilton at the store before their deaths, according to court documents.
