Rodney King Dead In Rialto CA.

Rodney King has been found dead at the bottom of a swimming pool at the age of 47.

King was discovered by his fiancée Cynthia Kelley in Rialto, California this morning. She allegedly told friends King had been drinking all day and smoked marijuana.

In 1991, a video emerged of him being brutally beaten by four white police officers in Los Angeles sparking a debate about racially-motivated police brutality.

At around 5.25am, Miss Kelley made a 911 call, said police captain Randy DeAnda.

According to TMZ, she was woken up by the sound of King screaming in the back yard. She said that he was naked and banging on the glass. Then she heard a splash and discovered him in the swimming pool.

King was found in the water and removed by officers who performed CPR. He was pronounced dead at a local hospital.

There were no initial signs of foul play and police were conducting a drowning investigation.

    RE: solidmind comments
    No I Agree in That Between Mayor Bradley and Police Chief Gates at the time were Esclating the tension in los Angeles. Your remarks: prejudices, hate, crybaby ass men, negativity, and those who refuse to educate themselves on  the bigger scope of life are the culprits that exists on every financial level that poison minds with bulls*it instead of focusing on the bigger picture. Be a part of the progress of the world, work to improve the imbalances that you see. dont just complain on your ass, see the chance of balance, if not atleast for the sake of the children born and being raised in this hi (and new) technology world searching for hope and identity. many of you people need counseling and/or proper mentorship. work on eradicating poor and bad ways of thinking.
    YOU LIVE WHAT I AND MY CHILDREN WENT THROUGH THEN.  I have Four Black Grandchildren, Two that I take care of. I fight illegal Immigration daily. Crybaby Ass.
    Not, Within your writings I see a Socialist progressive thinking here is another cracker whining on the black race. NOT. King was wrong and is still wrong.  What is the web master think.
    god bless you anyway.

    smh SMH SMH smh. is this the forum for wordly complaint as to culture or the riot/king/justice views etc. ?????? rodney king did a poor job as to his representation of the black man – - ok thats obvious. but the riots were actually a spin-off from the latasha harlin case where a young girl was shot in the back by a korean woman, ultimately she spent less than a week in jail and returned to her homeland. the situations from the f%^& up mindsets are due to loss of hope, education, and society’s mental games. however those who choose to take death and celebrate, should take this time to elevate to a new millineum way of seeing things. think positive and help the world be a better place.

    I had the same loser situation with the blacks when living in the Tampa Bay Area in Florida.
    We didn’t have to worry about being victims of any riot when there was a real threat back in the 1970′s though.
    All my friends and myself had to do, was to lean my 12 Gage pump Remington 870 against the entrance of the porch, so it could be seen by anyone walking by.
    My friends had their assault weapons out in plain site on the porch too. The blacks would walk by and almost crap in their pants and just kept on walking.
    No problems here…
    By the way, that King Clown was your typical South Central Loser.
    Glad to see him gone..

    I have no regrets that rodney king is dead. I have had to live for twenty years with the Dark memories of those terrible days of the 1992 los angeles riots. having a .357 in the back of my holster waiting to see even in La Verne CA. Being assualted by some over reacting blacks that were in “there moment” of rage twords me and my family in our apartment complex with NO reason given by them.
    Not working for a week, and watching illegal aliens and black/hispanic gang members tear/loot the city apart. And yes there were other caucasians as well. I blame Jessie Jackson/Al sharpton and other race Baiters. I have had heated discussions on talk radio this week and last week with Most of them hanging up on me except the great talker Steve Gill. I do not blame our court system for giving the three officers A not guilty on the charges bought against them. I blame rodney king for not turning his life around, continuing to use his winnings in his law suits to buy drugs and on BET radio They call him a Marter. HA, what a joke. I left los angeles two years later. knowing the hispanic community was going to wipe out black history in Los Angeles.
    And the embrassment of what was done to there own community’s, to Blame it on someone else, Go Figure. If George Zimmerman in the  travon Martins death is not found guilty, look foward too partII in Miami.
    With Rodney King Dead, after twenty years, I can Finally “get along” and slowly wipe those memories away. May god forgive me for feeling this way. May god watch over Mr. Kings family and friends during this time of loss.
