RIP
Wasn;t he seen meeting some uber-shady Russian businessman upon his arrival at the airport in South Africa?

Horrible 
Just as you suspected from the beginning Mike. So weird to think we were some of the last few over here to have contact with him. My deepest condolences to his family and godspeed to Uwe. It offers little relief but at least they have closure now and can have a proper service.

Uwe Gemballa Found Dead in South
Missing since February in South Africa Stuttgart Porsche tuner Uwe Gemballa was found dead. The South African Police found his body wrapped in cellophane film west of Pretoria. As investigators stern.de confirmed, this was Gemballa.
Gemballa had traveled in early February via Dubai to Johannesburg, to meet supposedly new business partners. Shortly after his arrival he reached his wife with a mysterious call. Gemballa called in English, urgently asking to send him a million dollars. After that there was no other sign of life from Gemballa.
