the rest of this odd tale, with pictures, at link aboveMystery surrounds the death of a freelance TV producer found in his hotel room in Uganda after local police claimed he had large quantities of cocaine in his stomach.
The lifeless body of Jeff Rice, who worked as a fixer on the reality show the Amazing Race, was discovered with his production assistant. Catherine Fuller was found unconscious in the same room and is critically ill in hospital.
An autopsy found large quantities of cocaine in Rice's stomach, leading to speculation that the pair were involved in a botched smuggling operation. But TV sources claimed the pair were forced to ingest the drug after a failed shakedown.
