Toxicology Reports Show Identical Substances in Two Deceased Ole Miss Students

<p>Toxicology reports indicate that the same three substances were found in the bloodstreams of two recently deceased University of Mississippi students, according to federal court documents obtained by Fox News Digital.</p><p>The students, Aidan Hamilton, 18, and Robert Strang, 20, both had Mitrogynine, as well as the Schedule 1 controlled substances MGM-15 and MGPI in their bloodstreams, as revealed in a court filing reviewed by Fox News Digital.</p><p>The findings were disclosed ahead of the public release of the full toxicology report.</p><p>The three substances are associated with Smax-Mango Breeze pills, which investigators determined Hamilton and Strang had in their possession at the time of their deaths on September 21 in Oxford.</p><p>During the investigations, packaging related to kratom products was discovered at both locations, according to a statement from Lafayette County Metro Narcotics.</p><p>Specifically, officers found packages of Smax Mango Breeze MGM-15 with price tags of $39.99, each marked with a black smudge on the first 9, at both sites.</p><p>Law enforcement arrested 51-year-old Yahya Mohamed Mosleh and his son, 18-year-old Islam Mohamed Mosleh, on charges related to a narcotics investigation involving an Oxford tobacco shop, Puffs Vape, Tobacco and Beer Store.</p><p>The men face federal drug charges after investigators traced purchases made by Strang and Hamilton at the store prior to their deaths, according to court documents.</p><p>Agents conducted a controlled purchase of the substance from Yahya Mosleh, who allegedly sold a product hidden in a locked container, which the court documents state had been banned by local ordinance for over four years.</p><p>Following the purchase, agents obtained a search warrant and searched the store, where they found the same Smax Mango Breeze MGM-15 with identical packaging, ingredients, and price tag of $39.99, including the smudge on the 9.</p><p>After laboratory testing, agents confirmed the products contained Schedule 1 controlled substances – MGM-15 and MGPI. Additionally, Strang's and Hamilton's bank records indicate they both made purchases at Puffs on the same date, according to the court documents.</p><p>The documents state, "There is also probable cause to believe these drugs caused two overdose deaths in Oxford, Mississippi. The Government proved that there was probable cause that the laboratory-tested drugs taken by the two overdose victims were the same type of drugs that were seized from the Moslehs during a court-authorized search warrant."</p><p>The court documents also note that Yahya Mosleh sold products to a confidential informant after the deaths of Strang and Hamilton, warning the informant that people had been dying from the product.</p><p>According to the report, "As the purchase was being made, Yahya Mosleh even told the informant that people were dying from similar products and to be careful. He additionally attempted to conceal his sale when other third parties entered the store, only completing it to the informant when those parties had exited."</p><p>Yahya Mosleh will remain in custody pending trial after a federal judge deemed him a flight risk with ties to another country, according to court documents. Islam Mosleh will be released on a $20,000 unsecured bond with conditions including a curfew and location monitoring.</p><p>The owner of Puffs was indicted by a state grand jury in Lafayette County, Mississippi, for distribution of a controlled substance years ago but absconded, with investigators believing he is currently operating the store remotely from Egypt.</p><p>Fox News Digital contacted the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Mississippi for comment.</p>
