Sad as this is, “father of two young children found dead of a cocaine overdose with his female assistant in Africa” sounds almost as crazy as “father of two young children and his female assistant found dead and near death in a suspected poisoning following a botched gang robbery in Africa.”

Cryptomundo indeed.

I don’t know why but I do believe the Ugandan police aren’t world leaders at CSI. I do believe also that there is much more to this story and hopefully the young lady will recover to tell us.

I can only think of a couple of reasons why someone would ingest cocaine and have a large amount in their stomache. Not all are voluntary. Best to give the deceased the benefit of the doubt.

I’m honestly not surprised at reporting that some of you consider to be strange or less than believable as the story develops. The reality is that you’re dealing with a foreign press that may not have access like our western press does. The story will often come out in drips and drabs and there will be numerous inconsistencies.

Ironically, its much like a typical cryptid sighting. Guy sees something that looks like a panther or other big cat that shouldn’t or couldn’t live in area X. Takes a picture from a distance. Experts then opine on the picture; one thinks it an extinct panther pantheris, one says its just a bobcat, one says its Mrs. Jones black tabby cat from down the street. The truth is quite often somewhere in the middle. The problem is finding it.

In the sad case of Mr Rice and his assistant I think it was probably an OD. But not on cocaine, given that cocaine isn’t the drug of choice in Eastern Africa. We may find that it *looked* like cocaine but was some phoney drug that Mr Rice bought off the street. Or not. Either way, a creative mind is dead. Sad.

Police yesterday also refuted allegations that the deceased died of food poisoning or an attack by suspected thugs.

Cocaine is a drug that comes almost exclusively from South America. Not Africa. Especially Uganda. Hard to believe. Even if he was a regular user of cocaine, you’d think he would OD in the states where it’s all over the place. If I was part of his family or a personal friend, I would be skeptical of the findings and have my own people conduct tests. This story went from sad to absurd. His poor family. Awful.

Cocaine in his stomach? And she was unconscious/in a coma? Very very fishy
