Mississippi: tienda y su hijo acusados por kratom en muertes de Ole Miss

Los fiscales federales de Mississippi el 2 de octubre acusaron a un empleado de una tienda de vapeo y a su hijo de 18 años de posesión con intención de distribuir kratom ilegal, vinculado a las muertes de dos estudiantes de la Universidad de Mississippi. Los estudiantes, de 18 y 20 años, fueron encontrados muertos el 21 de septiembre en diferentes lugares del campus de Oxford. Funcionarios de la universidad confirmaron que se halló kratom empaquetado en ambas habitaciones, aunque los resultados toxicológicos aún no establecen una relación causal.

Posteriormente, autoridades estatales incautaron más de 500 unidades de kratom y detuvieron al empleado y a su hijo tras vincular las ventas con las víctimas. El Departamento de Seguridad Pública indicó que los informes de autopsia se entregarán a las familias en su debido momento.
