CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. - The daughter of late country music singer June Carter Cash was found dead in a parked bus along with a Nashville bluegrass fiddle player, authorities said.

Officials said Saturday that carbon monoxide from six propane or kerosene heaters on the bus may have killed the two and that an autopsy was planned. The bodies were found Friday afternoon.

Ted Denny, spokesman for the Montgomery County Sheriff's Department, said Saturday that the deaths were "suspicious." He said emergency medical workers found drug paraphernalia, including needles and pipes, on the bus near the bodies.

Investigators identified the victims as Rosie Nix Adams, the 45-year-old stepdaughter of late singing legend Johnny Cash; and Jimmy Campbell, 40, a bluegrass fiddle player who performed and recorded in Nashville for more than a decade.

Guy drops out of Broadway play for "medical reasons'

Jasmine Guy has withdrawn from the cast of The Violet Hour less than two weeks before its Broadway opening, leaving the production during intermission of Thursday night's preview performance.

The 39-year-old actor, who starred in the '80s TV series A Different World," has left the production for "medical reasons," Jim Byk, a spokesman for the show, said Friday. Byk didn't elaborate.

Guy was replaced for the second act at the Biltmore Theatre by her understudy, Robin Miles, who will assume the role of Jessie Brewster in Richard Greenberg's new play. It opens Nov. 6.

The play also stars Robert Sean Leonard, Scott Foley and Mario Cantone. Greenberg won the best-play Tony Award in June for Take Me Out.
