Ole Miss deaths, druggings have ‘people scared to leave’ dorms as bars, Greek life clamp down: students

Summary

Two male University of Mississippi students, ages 18 and 20, were found dead at separate locations in Oxford, Mississippi. Lafayette County Metro Narcotics is investigating both cases separately, and packaged kratom was reportedly recovered at each site, but officials have not confirmed that kratom or any other substance caused or contributed to the deaths. Toxicology results are pending. Separately, student Mary Harvey said she may have been drugged at a bar and later found unconscious in her dormitory. Greek events were canceled, and some bars increased security amid student fears.
