    Rodney King dead at 47

    Rodney King -- the man who was at the center of the infamous Los Angeles riots -- was found dead this morning. He was 47.

    According to our sources, King's fiancée found him dead at the bottom of a pool.

    King became famous in 1991 when he was the victim of police brutality at the hands of the LAPD. The officers involved in the incident were acquitted the following year and the announcement of the verdict led to the Los Angeles riots.

    Here's the update on TMZ:

    Law enforcement sources tell TMZ they responded to a call at 5:25 AM PT. We're told they physically removed King from the pool and attempted CPR.

    Our sources say he was pronounced dead at 6:11 AM.

    Law enforcement sources say Rialto PD will open a drowning investigation.

    And yeah mcaulay, it's sad to say but when it comes to stuff like this I trust TMZ more these days than probably 99% of other sources. They've got so many people on their payroll that it's amazing how quickly they find things out before others.

    Because we have learned over time to rise above injustice from the sufferings of others, we can ignore and rise above statements like yours.

    Can't we all get along Rodney King dies.Settlement $$ awarded to him killed him

    It goes to show to socialists like Obama that no matter how much money someone like Rodney King has or had, it doesn't do much good to elevate their quality of life or longevity.We need more programs!!!We need more people getting educated!!!!We need more people being spoon fed by the government!!!We need a government program to wipe peoples asses!!!If only there were more free money government programs,everyone would live beautiful lives.


    He got a ton of settlement money,it will be interesting to find out what killed him and how much money he had left.I'm very surprised he lived to be 46 or 47.
