Two University of Mississippi students were found dead Monday in separate incidents and packaged kratom was found at both scenes, authorities said.

The probe into the mysterious deaths is being led by the Lafayette County Metro Narcotics team, who said Tuesday the cases are not believed to be connected.

“Law enforcement is currently conducting two separate death investigations. At this time, we have no confirmed evidence indicating that the two deaths are connected,” the agency said.

Kratom, a herbal substance that acts as a stimulant in small doses and an opioid-like sedative in higher amounts, was found in both investigations.

But the Lafayette County Metro Narcotics squad said it does “not have confirmed information indicating that kratom or any other substance was a contributing factor in either death.”

Kratom can be legally sold in parts of Mississippi but is restricted within Lafayette County where the university is located, according to Mississippi Today.

The identities of the dead students have not yet been released.

“The University is heartbroken by the recent loss of two students and extends our condolences to their families, friends and loved ones during this difficult time,” Ole Miss said in a statement to The Post.

“We are aware that considerable unverified information is circulating on social media and in the community regarding these recent student deaths,” the university said. “The Coroner’s Office has confirmed two student deaths, and University Police are not aware of any additional student deaths.”

Public safety officials were dispatched to the university’s Stewart Hall around 1:30 p.m. Monday for a “possible overdose,” according to a Lafayette County dispatch obtained by Action News 5.

The individual was found unresponsive and given CPR, the outlet reported.

It remains unclear how either student died and no details on the second death were immediately available.

Ole Miss and Lafayette County Metro Narcotics each pleaded with the public not to speculate on the deaths.

“We ask the public to avoid speculation regarding the circumstances or cause of either death while these investigations remain ongoing,” the agency said, adding, “We understand that uncertainty can create fear and rumors.”

While the university encouraged the “community not to speculate about the circumstances or repeat information that has not been officially confirmed.”

The Post reached out to Lafayette County Metro Narcotics and the Oxford Police Department for more information.
