jarrylf Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 We are sad to report that Rodney King has passed away at the age of 47. The man who was at the center of the infamous Los Angeles riots was found dead this morning by his fiancee at the bottom of a pool in Rialito, CA. According to reports from TMZ, law enforcement sources say they responded to a call at 5:25 AM PT. They then physically removed King from the pool and attempted CPR. He was pronounced dead at 6:11 AM. According to MSNBC he had recently been promoting his just-published memoir "The Riot Within: My Journey From Rebellion to Redemption." **UPDATE** Reuters sent out an update stating that no foul play was suspected in Rodney's death. http://globalgrind.com/news/rodney-king-dead-47-death ______________________________________________________________________________ Sorry to hear this, Im a fan of Dr.Drew's Celebrity Rehab, and I was rooting for him, and he had a hell of alot of demons on his back to fight, it seemed like he was really trying.

JoeJoe Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 he did all dat? mmm hmm him and his fiance were smoking and drinking but she took her ass to bed around 2. I guess he wanted to relax by the pool and maybe he either decided to go for a swim and drowned or he fell in and drowned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
