Rodney King dies at 47

Rodney King, the man whose 1991 videotaped beating by Los Angeles police officers led to one of the most destructive race riots in America's history after the acquittal of the four officers involved, has died.

He was found at the bottom of his swimming pool this morning. No foul play is suspected. He was 47 years old. May his soul rest in peace.

there's always foul play when someone with knowledge of the system and a role in some struggle dies.. soon they'll say he overdosed on a drug or had too much alcohol before drowning, giving the impression his vices got him at the end..
