Deadly "Mango Breeze" Pills Linked to Ole Miss Student Deaths

Toxicology reports have revealed that two University of Mississippi students, Aidan Hamilton and Robert Strang, had Mitrogynine, MGM-15, and MGPI in their bloodstreams at the time of their deaths on September 21. These substances are found in Smax-Mango Breeze pills, which investigators discovered were in the students' possession. Packaging for these products was found at both locations where the students were discovered.

Law enforcement has arrested Yahya Mohamed Mosleh, 51, and his son, 18-year-old Islam Mohamed Mosleh, on federal drug charges. The arrests stem from an investigation into an Oxford tobacco shop, Puffs Vape, Tobacco and Beer Store, where the students reportedly made purchases prior to their deaths. Investigators made a controlled purchase of a banned substance from Yahya Mosleh, which was subsequently found to contain Schedule 1 controlled substances.

During a search of the store, agents seized Smax Mango Breeze MGM-15 products identical to those found with the deceased students. Lab tests confirmed these products contained Schedule 1 controlled substances. Bank records show Hamilton and Strang made purchases at Puffs on the same date. Yahya Mosleh remains in custody, deemed a flight risk, while Islam Mosleh was released on bond with monitoring conditions. The store owner, Yahya Mosleh, has a prior state indictment for drug distribution and is believed to be operating the store remotely from Egypt.
