Ole Miss College Newspaper Names Two Students Found Dead
A college newspaper named the deceased students as Aidan Hamilton and Robert Strang.
The University of Mississippi has named the two students who were found dead on campus this week, according to the college newspaper The Daily Mississippian. Aidan Hamilton, an 18-year-old from Colorado, and Robert Strang, a 20-year-old from Atlanta, were the victims. Law enforcement were alerted to the first death at Stewart Hall on Monday.
The second body was discovered later at an off-campus residence. University officials have not publicly disclosed the identities of the students. Dr. Shawnboda Mead, vice chancellor for student affairs, expressed the university's grief over the loss in a statement on X. She urged the campus community not to speculate about the circumstances or spread unconfirmed information, emphasizing the need for attention during this tragic period.
The Coroner's Office has confirmed the two deaths, and University Police are still investigating the causes.
