Summary
A 22-year-old found unresponsive at an Oxford residence around 5 a.m. was revived by EMS and is expected to recover, police said.
Synthetic kratom was found in the person's possession, prompting police to treat the incident as a suspected overdose.
Oxford police said the case is not student-related and is unrelated to the Sept. 21 deaths of Ole Miss students Aidan Hamilton, 18, and Robert Strang, 20.
Police also said the synthetic kratom linked to Thursday's overdose is not believed to have been purchased in the Oxford area, as scrutiny of the substance widens after the two student deaths.
