The world has mourned an American man who reportedly died of cocaine overdose in Uganda’s capital city Kampala. Jeff Rice died over the weekend and a postmortem report issued today indicated that he died of suspected cocaine overdose. America is one of the countries in the world that fights against the use of cocaine and it’s a shock that one of its citizens has died of suspected cocaine overdose.

Police spokesman, Asuman Mugyenyi says that results from laboratories indicated that there was too much concentration of cocaine in the deceased’s stomach. Mugyenyi says that in the beginning police suspected Rice to have died of food poisoning.

Rice was a freelance producer for a reality TV show dubbed ‘The Amazing Race.’ He was found dead in a Kampala hotel room while his production assistant, Catherine Fuller was unconscious in another room.
