Rodney King Passes Away At 47

Rodney King was found dead Sunday (June 17) morning Rialito, California.

TMZ reports that the king's bride was found dead at the bottom of a pool. Law enforcement sources responded to a call 05:25 and King attempted CPR after removing the pool.

He is dead in 6:11.

In April 1992, jury acquitted four Los Angeles Police Department officers beat King after a high speed pursuit, despite the fact that the beating was famously videotaped.

Thousands of people riot in Los Angeles over the next six days, with 53 deaths and roughly $ 1 billion in damages.
