An American-born television producer with credits on “The Amazing Race” and other reality adventure programs was found dead in a hotel room in Uganda, the victim of a suspected poisoning attack.
Jeff Rice, 39, and a female assistant for his South Africa-based production company were reportedly poisoned after they refused a shakedown attempt by local gang members in the capital city of Kampala, FoxNews.com reported.
“They were not attacked but [evidence] points towards being poisoned,” Rice’s widow, Sally Blackman, told the website.
