Men in Uniform

The prisoner killed the guard who was handcuffed to him. The driver of the van tried to exit the van and was bitten by a rattlesnake(or coral snake). The prisoner is angry and frustrated because the driver had the only set of keys for the door and cuffs.

Is the Diver outside the van? Has called for backup and is on guard watching the van? If so the rest has been layed out.

Prisoner killed guard, didn't have the time to kill the other. The other guard called for backup and exited the van and is waiting for the backup to arive.

Hint: There were only two men involved, the prisoner and the guard.

 
if the guard was handcuffed to the prisoner from the beginning of the trip, to prevent an escape, then who was driving the van in the first place?

did the driver park on the side of the road to take a leak or crap exiting the vehicle with the keys to the door and the cuffs. while he/she was relieving him/her self the prisoner killed the guard that was handcuffed to him thinking that the guard had the keys and he would be able to get free, and he is now angry and frustrated because he now realizes that the other guard had the keys.

 
Was the dead guard the driver?

Did the guard swallow the keys in the fight that killed him?

Was the guard and prisoner taken to this place by other criminals that didn't want the guy in the van to testify???

Prisoner and guard handcuffed and travelling via vehicle to a correctional facility in the desert. Guard was driving. Prisoner attempted to take control of the wheel which ultimately caused the Guard to crash the vehicle in a deserted area. Before dying and before the Prisoner came-to, the Guard swallowed the key. In the hot desert sun, the Prisoner had no choice but to drag the body of the guard to the back of van where it was cool in comparision to the outdoors - and await for help.

 
I'm afraid that if this riddle is left unanswered, the universe would be drastically altered and life, as we know it, will not exist in this or any dimension.

CONGRATULATIONS Silent Commit!

 

Two men are in the back of a van which is parked on a country road. Both men are in uniform. One is dead. the other is angry and frustrated. What happened?

 

The angry man was a convicted prisoner. He was being transported in the van and was handcuffed to a prison officer. When a suitable opportunity arose, the prisoner had produced a gun and demanded that the officer released him. The officer had put the key to the handcuffs in his mouth before struggling with the prisoner. The gun went off killing the officer but not before he had swallowed the key.The prisoner was therefore handcuffed to the body of the man he had just killed.
