(WTVA) - Funeral arrangements have been made public for one of two University of Mississippi students who died Monday. Aidan Hamilton, 18, of Englewood, Colorado, was found unresponsive on the Ole Miss campus and later died. According to Horan & McConaty Funeral services, Hamilton’s celebration of life is scheduled for Friday, Oct. 2, at 11:30 a.m. at Bethany Lutheran Church in Colorado. A reception will follow at 1:30 p.m. Hamilton was one of two Ole Miss students who died Monday in separate incidents.   The other student, 20-year-old Robert Strang of Atlanta, was a junior at the university. As of Sunday morning, funeral arrangements for Strang had not been publicly announced. Strang’s family released a statement asking for privacy as they grieve. “As we grieve and focus on our family, we ask for privacy, understanding and compassion in the days ahead,” the family said.  The Oxford Police Department said there is no confirmed evidence indicating that the two deaths are connected. However, packaged kratom sold from a retail store was found during both investigations. The official cause of death for the two University of Mississippi students has not yet been determined and remains under active investigation pending toxicology reports.  The deaths have left the Ole Miss community mourning as students, families and friends remember both young men.  Copyright 2026 WTVA. All rights reserved.
