Now they're saying it was more likely a drug overdose (cocaine) than a "poisoning." Still very sad:

BJM, I read this afternoon that a large amount of cocaine was found inside his stomach. Dr. Baden said even if he snorted enough coke to kill himself, the only way he could have that much cocaine in his stomach was if he swallowed it.

Or had it forced down him!

Hopefully the assistant will regain consciousness and be able to shed some light on the situation -

Did anyone see a commercial during Survivor about some other TAR producer killing his wife? I didn't rewind, but I swore that's what they said, coming up on some news-type show like Dateline or 20/20??

Yeah, that happened sometime in the last year or so. They went to Mexico or somewhere like that for a vacation and he killed her.

Yes, he was recently extradited to Mexico. Her body was found in a sewer. Just awful no matter how this turns out.

there is a general discussion thread, that would be a better place for discussions about the producer, thank you.

Moved the posts about the producer here.

Note: It was a Survivor producer accused of killing his wife, not a TAR producer. :-)

Update:

"Bad" cocaine killed American TV producer in Uganda

KAMPALA | Sat Feb 25, 2012 6:23pm EST

KAMPALA (Reuters) - An American television producer found dead on a hotel balcony in Uganda last week died after taking contaminated cocaine, police and a private investigator said on Saturday.

An official toxicology report confirmed the narcotic was in Jeff Rice's blood, dispelling initial suspicions the father-of-two known for his work on the U.S. show "The Amazing Race," had been poisoned by attackers.

Rice, who was found slumped over a table bleeding through the nose and mouth, died of asphyxiation, a post mortem showed. Drug users who fall unconscious risk inhaling vomit.

Cab driver arrested in connection with producer's death

Now, I did think this little snippet was interesting from the above article:

Rice was found dead Feb. 18 on the balcony of the hotel room he shared with Fuller.

Is Fuller the "associate" who is still in the hospital? Has that lady died?

This just all sounds really hokey to me!
